Abstract
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs Subcommittee of the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Committee at the Atkins Library of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) formed in 2019 and created a series of DEI-themed staff development programs to engage Library employees. The programming, which included facilitated discussions, short presentations at staff meetings, and interaction with video or article content, was all intended to foster a culture of reflection and awareness. To accommodate changing necessities of virtual and in-person work environments, the Subcommittee transitioned its work to make it applicable both online and in person with an educational hub to promote cultural humility practices. The Subcommittee began simple assessment of the results of this programming and laid the groundwork for more formal assessment that will inform its future DEI efforts.
