     To the Dartmouth community:        We write to share new information that will help inform our work to create    a more inclusive community at Dartmouth. The information comes from two    sources: the Dartmouth Community Study Survey, and the Inclusive Excellence    working groups. We have just received the final reports from both. In the    coming weeks, we will be holding forums to discuss the findings. We hope    you will join us.        A year ago we launched the Dartmouth Community Study in order to gain a    better understanding of our community’s views of the living, learning, and    working environment at Dartmouth—our campus climate. As part of the study,    in October we conducted a survey of all students, faculty, and staff. The    firm Rankin & Associates, which specializes in campus climate    assessments, administered the survey and has presented us with their final    report. The report’s executive summary and the full report are available here.        This weekend, we received recommendations from the Inclusive Excellence    working groups. The three working groups studied existing data and    initiatives at Dartmouth and national best practices related to diversity    and inclusivity at all levels of the institutions, in order to develop    recommendations for next steps and points of accountability. The working    group reports can be found here.        We encourage you to read the Rankin report and the Inclusive Excellence    recommendations and then to join us in a conversation. This month there    will be several opportunities to learn more about both processes and to    share your thoughts and ideas about the data and recommendations. You can    find a complete list of forums here. You are also welcome to share comments,    suggestions, and top priorities concerning this work with us at [email protected].        An executive committee that includes both of us, Executive Vice President    Rick Mills and Vice President for Institutional Diversity & Equity    Evelynn Ellis, will study the groups’ recommendations, as well as the    community study survey data and other feedback from the community. Before    the end of the term, we will share with the campus an action plan designed    to achieve measurable results.        We would like to express sincere appreciation to the members of the    Inclusive Excellence and Community Study working groups, to everyone who    contributed to both processes and to everyone who completed the survey.    Your contributions will inform our work.        The well-being of our community is important to us and essential to    Dartmouth’s success. The Community Study survey results and the Inclusive    Excellence process are not ends in themselves but, rather, tools that we    will use to help guide our work and assess our progress in building a more    diverse and inclusive Dartmouth.        Sincerely,        Phil Hanlon ’77    President        Carolyn Dever ’89a    Provost
