Queens College strives for inclusive excellence and recognizes that institutional success is dependent on valuing, engaging, and promoting inclusion and equity amount our students, staff, and faculty. Inclusive excellence is particularly meaningful to Queens College because of our diverse student population. This website serves as an archive of the Queens College partnership with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) on the Inclusive Excellence (IE3) initiative, which ended in February 2025.
Queens College was a member of a consortium of campuses that shared strategies and resources in three areas:
- Project 1: Evaluation of Diverse, Equitable, Inclusive, Justice, and Accessible (DEIJA) Teaching and Learning
- Project 2: Data-Informed Improvement of DEIJA Outcomes
- Project 3: Professional Development Programs for DEIJA Teaching and Learning.
These three projects provided our institutional framework for the HHMI guiding question:
What would it take to empower institutions to develop systems that investigate, support, evaluate, and reward teaching and learning that centers diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and access (DEIJA)?
Queens College celebrates the diversity of lived experiences among our students, staff, and faculty. Building on the prior support from HHMI, we continue working to strengthen inclusive excellence at QC. We encourage you to use and share the resources on this website across the QC community.
