Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan
The Department of Urban and Regional Planning at Florida State University has developed a strategic plan for diversity and inclusion based on the premise that our graduates face an increasingly diverse world, community, and workplace in the future. To be better prepared to engage as planners, policymakers, analysts, and activists in that world, we have a responsibility to integrate diversity and inclusion into our department’s core activities of teaching, research, and service.
