Has the institution been formally recognized for leadership in diversity, equity, and/or inclusion during the previous three years by a national or international program? :
A brief description of the diversity, equity, and/or inclusion recognition:
In recognition of its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, UMass Chan Medical School was named one of “America's Greatest Workplaces 2023 For Diversity," by Newsweek and market data research firm Plant-A Insights.
The companies said the list is based on a review of publicly available data, interviews with human resources professionals and an anonymous online survey of a diverse pool of employees at companies with 1,000 or more employees in the U.S. Respondents were asked questions about corporate culture, working environment and other subjects at both their own companies and others they were familiar with.
UMass Chan Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion Marlina Duncan, EdD, said the Medical School has instituted a number of initiatives focused on cultivating a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment, most notably the addition of a diversity, equity and inclusion pillar to the 2025 IMPACT strategic plan. She said a major strength of the DEI pillar is the institution’s commitment to monitoring the implementation process, the continuous assessment of needs and its commitment to accountability through a robust system of oversight.
