“I have been a part of plenty of leadership development programs, but the Inclusive Leaders Academy is drastically different. This life-changing experience extended spaces to unlearn and relearn ideologies gained throughout my life. I learned new information that positively changed me both personally and professionally.” 

- Michael A. Dixon, Director of Operations, Office of Commercialization

“Bias in the workplace is something I feel more comfortable identifying and mitigating now. Learning skills around creating shared goals, focusing on similarities and taking in all viewpoints has allowed me to implement these teachings from the ILA program and apply them every day."

- Jonathan Rivera Perez, Global Internship Advisor, Office of International Education

"While I engaged my direct reports daily and felt a sense of connectedness, there was limited engagement with their direct reports. So now I start my day in the catering pantry and kitchen speaking with staff as they prepare for the day's production and deliveries, which has helped build rapport as well as a mentorship program with a frontline supervisor.” 

- Kelly Rowland Prather, Director of Catering, Tech Dining
