I like what one of our trustees said about reaching across ethnic divisions to work for unity in the body of Christ. It was a simple statement, but it stayed with me. He said, "Our task is to make real what Christ died to achieve." — Philip Ryken, President of Wheaton College

Our Roadmap for Campus Transformation

The goal of the Kingdom Diversity Action Plan (KDAP) is to build on the Kingdom Diversity Commitment Statement by outlining concrete structures and processes to transform individuals and the College. The inaugural plan includes 63 departments contributing 90 plans that model inclusive and equitable approaches for engagement, decision-making, and communication.

Every division, department, and academic unit created an action plan addressing its unique needs and opportunities which include goals, tactics, and measurements to monitor annual progress through a continuous improvement and planning process. This process provides opportunities to strategically think and plan together to foster greater diversity, inclusion, justice, and unity. The development and implementation of the kingdom diversity action plan represent a roadmap to advance our mission, strengthen efforts, and amplify impact. The CIEO will serve as a guide to monitor and evaluate the progress of the campus-wide plan.
