University of Michigan Diversity Council
President Mary Sue Coleman established the Diversity Council in 2003 to assess, encourage and celebrate diversity initiatives. The council's mission is to offer “expertise and guidance to promote the pursuit and dissemination of essential knowledge and skills that foster effective participation in a diverse, multicultural and inclusive University community.” Among its primary functions, the Diversity Council hosts the University’s annual Diversity Summit, and also is a sponsor of the Diversity Matters at Michigan website, together with the Office of the Provost and the Office of the Vice President for Communications.
