Design Thinking Studio

Design Thinking Studio is a temporal space that encourages DCoP members to explore design thinking processes. Design thinking can be used for solving problems that are complex, ill-defined and difficult to solve and is therefore particularly well-suited to help us think through challenges involving issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Diversity Data Deep Dive

The Diversity Data Deep Dive (DDDD) conferences were developed in order to utilize qualitative and quantitative data to advance institutional equity and diversity goals.

The inaugural conference was held in Walter Library on November 17, 2017. Presentations highlighted available institutional data sets, how data can be accessed, and the ways that participants can leverage data to effect change. The second DDDD took place as a half-day conference in April 2018, examining specific cases more deeply.
