The mission of the Diversity Institute was to create and disseminate an educational resource base for faculty and future faculty on the topic of diversity in gender, race, nationality, learning style and physical ability in science, technology, math and engineering education.. The primary goals of the Diversity Team are to: Synthesize existing knowledge in order to establish an intellectual foundation for inclusive teaching. Generate new tools and disseminate them effectively to STEM practitioners, including faculty, instructional staff, teaching assistants, future faculty, advisors, and program administrators. From September 2004 through May 2005, Diversity Scholars reviewed and provided feedback on literature. The Scholars also met and discussed strategies for encouraging inclusion in STEM teaching and learning. In May 2005, the work of the Diversity Institute and its Scholars and that of other exemplary national programs were showcased to a national audience at the CIRTL Forum 2005. All tools and resources created by the Diversity Institute are publicly available through the Diversity Institute web site.
