2025 CAB Digital Badges (Submissions)
Each year, the CANR Office of Culture, Access and Belonging will request that CANR and MSU Extension departments and units submit culture, access and belonging (CAB) efforts from (2024 - 2025) as a part of the DEI Badge Project.
The requests are sent directly to department chairs, school directors and directors who should then solicit feedback from the entire unit to capture the most accurate information related to CAB efforts. The process will consist of three steps
1. Completing the DEI Effort Internal Assessment Form (IAF)
Purpose: The IAF allows the reporting unit to assess DEI Efforts internally before preparing and submitting report to gain a tentative understanding of badge grouping.
2. Completing the CANR CAB Efforts Report
Purpose: The CAB Effort report will provide necessary supporting information and details to validate the IAF and provide further detail about any additional DEI Efforts.
3. Submit both documents back to OCAB through the Qualtrics form
CANR CAB Effort Reports and associated documents are due by Saturday, February 1, 2025.
The criteria taken into consideration aligns with the 5 core areas established by the DEI Strategic Plan put forth by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee. The core areas are as follows:
- Culture and climate
- Leadership
- Recruiting, hiring and retention
- Employee training and professional development
- Teaching, outreach, research and service
Please Note: The final report and IAF can be completed by leadership or a designee but should take into account as much of the collective work of the unit as possible.
DEI effort reports will be reviewed and grouped into three categories: Platinum, Gold and Green with Platinum being the highest level.
