Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program 2024 Year in Review

Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program 2024 Year in Review

We are starting off a new year and would like to take this opportunity to recap the great work accomplished by our Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Program. 

  • Percentage of diverse spending in 2024: 14.93%
  • Accepted Federal Contract Small Business Subcontracting Plans: 2
  • Awards and recognition: NAEP Eddie H. Jackson Supplier Diversity Award

We still strive to achieve a more diverse spend with suppliers, aiming for 25% of total addressable spend on campus goods and services by FY26. Please take every opportunity when able to purchase from our small businesses in our local and diverse communities.
