The Student Advisory Planning Group (SAPG) helps to plan the DEI Summit's Community Assembly & Discussion (October 2020) by providing critical input, feedback, and assistance with program content, student engagement, and marketing strategies. Our goal is for the Community Assembly & Discussion to reflect students’ interests and experiences, as well as our institutional DEI mission, and inspire and motivate the campus community to continue its progress toward DEI.

SAPG members will attend 6 monthly meetings in February, March, April, September, October, and November. We may also meet between May-August based on members’ availability and interest. Each meeting will be 2 hours in length and will include dinner.

Approximately 15-20 students will be selected to participate. The contributions of these members will be publicly acknowledged at the 2020 DEI Summit’s Community Assembly and on the ODEI website.

Meetings will be facilitated by Dr. Mary Rose, Program Manager (mlairose@umich.edu), and Tyne Lucas, Executive Assistant to the Deputy CDO (tyne@umich.edu.), in the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Provost’s Office.
