UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Equal Opportunity Planning Committee (EOPC) invites Penn State faculty and staff to submit proposals for EOPC funding to support the University’s diversity, inclusion and equity efforts and advance the University’s strategic plan (see, “fostering and embracing a diverse world” here: http://strategicplan.psu.edu/foundations/fostering-and-embracing-a-diverse-world/) with investments in programs and ideas.
Funding from EOPC is intended to provide seed money for innovative pilot programs and existing initiatives that create and support a climate of equity throughout Penn State.
