I am a doctoral student in the College of Communication and Information Sciences (or Master’s student in the School of Library and Information Studies, OR add as relevant) at the University of Alabama. I have created this Diversity & Inclusion ePortfolio (D&P-eP) as part of my work for the CIS 650 (Applying Diversity Leadership Theories & Praxis) course during spring 2025. In my D&P-eP I analyze existing diversity and inclusion responses to ___ (or for) [Add: name of population, topic, subject, etc.) in the [Add name of organization] located in [Add name of city/town, state]. I also propose a range of responsive strategies to further cultural competence and effective leadership in the diverse workforce environment. As part of my analysis I will critically evaluate a variety of existing information responses (e.g., collections, services, programs, resources, policies, and best practices) to ensure equality/equity of representation, access, and information use of diverse stakeholders in my community-centered organizational setting. I will also develop a strategic diversity action plan for the information organization to identify future directions of progressive growth and professional practice.
