Mission

Baruch College is one of the most diverse colleges in the United States. Baruch seeks to elevate and embed the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and cultural competency through the College. Our diversity is a strength that provides unlimited potential for innovation and collaboration. We believe teaming is at the heart of this objective.

Our mission in this platform is to facilitate the unlocking of this potential by providing evidence-based resources so that you can successfully engage in teaming: to leverage the diversity of perspectives and experiences in your team, and to do so in an inclusive way. Our hope is to help your team to work together and solve problems that matter, to innovate, and to develop every team member’s skills and thinking to meet the demands of modern, collaborative, and diverse organizations.

By leveraging the diversity innate to Baruch, our goals are to:

  • build skills to effectively team
  • create a positive mindset related to teaming
  • develop capabilities related to inclusive leadership

Ongoing support for site development and resource creation is provided by Baruch College’s Center for Teaching for Learning (CTL) and their Open Education Resources Initiative, part of the New York State “OER Scale Up” Initiative.
