Alumni, Friends and Partners Network
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion's Alumni, Friends and Partners Network (AFP Network) consists of some of ODI's biggest champions. These members dedicate their time, talent, treasure and testimony toward advancing the mission of ODI, which is to advance diversity, equity and inclusive excellence throughout the university enterprise by implementing student recruitment, retention and success programs, supporting faculty and staff initiatives and partnering with campus and community stakeholders in the United States and beyond. Many AFP Network members are alumni of Office of Diversity and Inclusion programs; others are our community and corporate partners.
