ES 1: Who Am I? What Are You? (Nelson): DEI Initiative Project

Even if a program isn't explicitly billed as DEI, it doesn't mean it doesn't count as a program that addresses DEI issues. Find below examples of some commonly-implemented DEI initiatives.

• I had the most success searching for a company, school, or institution name, plus "DEI" or "diversity equity and inclusion." E.g., "Earlham DEI." Searching something as broad as "DEI programs" or "DEI initiatives" yielded less results.
• Having trouble picking a topic? It's always more fun to research something you're interested in. Pick an institution that you already 
• Sometimes an initiative could be considered a DEI initiative without specifically mentioning the words "diversity, equity, and inclusion." Don't be afraid to broaden the search to other terms.
• Another search strategy for finding a program is to first think of a DEI initiative you're interested in (e.g., all-gender restrooms) and then from there try to search for an institution that is doing that thing.
