Unity Week 2022

Watch President Barbara Wilson and Associate Vice President Liz Tovar's conversation on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

 

This week is Unity Week 2022. We mark this week to celebrate our institutions’ people and accomplishments in DEI while also looking forward to growing in the coming year. Our colleges, units, and departments across campus will tell the stories of how they have grown in DEI since last January. You can see these stories on their social media feeds and our divisions’ Unity webpage. Use #IowaUnity2022 on social media to show how you have grown over the past year.
