REDI Moments That Matter: Onboarding
This guide focuses on Onboarding as a key moment that reveals whether commitments to equity, diversity, and inclusion are aligned with real-world practices. It highlights how early experiences shape belonging, engagement, and retention. It invites units to consider ways to level the playing field and create conditions for new faculty and staff to thrive.
REDI Digest Guides: Moving from Harm to Healing
In this edition, the guide draws on the It Starts With Us webinar Moving from Harm to Healing in EDI, Medical Education, and Clinical Practice (January 2025). It examines retributive and restorative justice approaches and their implications for responding to harm in educational and clinical settings, and invites reflection on how restorative practices can repair relationships, restore trust, and support accountability.
Tips for graduate student selection
This tip sheet highlights common equity and inclusion hazards in recruitment and selection of graduate students and offers practical, evidence-informed strategies to avoid them. By using inclusive language, broadening how excellence is defined, reducing bias, and creating transparent, accessible, and humane processes, programs can attract a more diverse applicant pool and make fairer, more rigorous decisions that benefit students, programs, and the Faculty as a whole.

REDI Moments That Matter: Faculty & Staff Recruitment
In this first guide, we focus on Faculty and Staff Recruitment as a key moment that signals who is welcome and valued within a unit.
