Speak Up for Opportunity

To FBI retiree Debra Evans-Smith ’81, diversity, equity, and inclusion—together—mean that everyone has the opportunity to succeed based solely on knowledge, talent, and ability. If that’s not the situation you’re in, it may be up to you to speak up and make a difference. Smith will talk more on this topic during an IUP panel discussion in the spring. This Q&A offers a preview.
