Summary

This chapter highlights what the authors call programs with promise. The focus is not on perfection as much as potential. Whether it is a small initiative or a large-scale program, if it makes an impact on the retention, inclusion, and/or mental wellness of Black or diverse faculty, then it is worth sharing with others. The chapter provides readers with examples of initiatives and programs that they can replicate, utilize a modified version of, or simply be inspired by. According to Barnett (2020), peer institutions are excellent sources from which to draw on successful integration of diversity and equity issues. This chapter will only share a handful of the numerous programs that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for faculty in higher education.
