This model is the combination of two previous initiatives,

reviewing those two initiatives and reviewing data on our
High-Impact practices, we designed this Dialogue Across
Diversity & Inclusion.

During the time we have spent at the Foundation, we were able to read through
this year’s student annual reports. The conclusion that we came up with based on
the needs of the Bonner colleges was that we needed an increase in diversity
trainings as well as including dialogue and inclusion.
