What is CAFE?

The Center for Academic & Faculty Excellence (CAFE) is a space, a time, and an intention and purpose to nurture and develop inclusive excellence. At the CAFE the members of the academic community:

  • Learn best practices on how to develop our inclusive excellence further
  • Develop a mindset of academic and faculty excellence
  • Connect with similar-minded people to experience belonging
  • Practice inclusion and equity-oriented approaches to spread community belonging

Inclusive excellence is recognizing that an institution’s success depends on how well it values, engages, and includes​ the rich diversity of its community: students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni.
