Equity and Inclusion Faculty Fellows
The Equity and Inclusion Faculty Fellows program is designed to provide our campus
with opportunities to learn best-practices in equity and inclusion. Fellows will work
on specific projects for the year culminating in one campus-wide training or initiative.
Our community is committed to institutional change, and we hope this fellows program
provides additional concrete ways of engaging in deep, meaningful equity and inclusion
work at Loyola. Please take a look at the list of past and current fellows below and
consider them a resource as you think about equity and inclusion in your work.
E&I Faculty Fellows are full-time faculty members who have demonstrated expertise and a commitment to continued growth in their dedication to equity and inclusion. Fellows form a professional learning community of 5-7 participants who further develop and share their expertise with the broader Loyola community by engaging in activities related to the following topics. Ideally, the cohorts will engage in project-based learning culminating in campus-wide training and change.

Working in collaboration with Marianna Carlucci, Equity and Inclusion Fellow for Academic
Affairs, E&I Faculty Fellows serve for one year and receive $1000. Fellows elect a
Chair. The Chair convenes monthly meetings and facilitates the roundtable discussions.
The Chair also prepares a brief annual report that summarizes the Fellows' activity
for the year. As compensation for these additional responsibilities, the Chair receives
an extra $1000 ($2000 total).
