Penn State has more than a decade of experience in advancing its diversity goals through a strategic planning approach and a rich history in valuing diversity. While initial efforts were largely ad-hoc, a strategic planning approach was adopted in the 1990s, resulting in a five-year plan A Framework to Foster Diversity at Penn State: 1998-2003. This approach has been institutionalized and we are currently at the mid-term of the second five-year plan A Framework to Foster Diversity at Penn State: 2004-09.

Most recently, Penn State has completed its review of the 2004-09 Framework mid-term updates. The links below point to the materials associated with the 2004-09 Framework: the 2004-09 unit plans, unit mid-term updates, review team feedback and unit responses (if any). The directory at the right contains links to background information on the diversity strategic planning process, timelines, and best practices. The archive link contains the 1998-2003 Framework and associated materials.
