AIE

DDEI Academy for Inclusive Excellence (AIE) is a formalized cadre of learning experiences on topics relevant to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We intentionally construct learning experiences designed to engage, enlighten, and edify the UAMS experience for our internal and external customers.

The aim of the Academy of Inclusive Excellence is to assist the institution in creating a culturally humble, proficient, and responsive workforce. Additionally, the academy builds capacity in regard to cultivating leaders in the space of inclusive excellence to fortify the UAMS Vision 2029 plan.
