Under the direction of the Vice Chancellor for Inclusive Excellence, the Division of Diversity, Equity & Educational Achievement (DDEEA) supports the mission of the University of Wisconsin–Madison as it works to create an inclusive and excellent learning and work environment for all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners at the university. The DDEEA is comprised of administrative, education, scholarship, and service programs whose work overlaps with the core values of community, inclusion, organizational excellence, transparency, and accountability. The DDEEA collaborates, leads, and consults in efforts to seed new initiatives and coordinate numerous institutional efforts to support, guide, and promote these priorities.
Our Programs and Services
At UW–Madison, we have organized our inclusion programs and services into one division to ensure a developmental pipeline that is evident in every school and college across campus. Our strategy for inclusive excellence encompasses not only race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion and national origin, but a breadth of educational legacies and human experiences from a wide range of perspectives and cultural backgrounds.
