A strategic recruitment initiative
The Â鶹Éç Diversity Faculty Awards (DDFA) program is a recruitment initiative designed to increase the number of faculty members from historically underrepresented groups. The program was introduced in 2011 in partnership with the Â鶹Éç Faculty Association and augmented through collective bargaining. Â

To date, Â鶹Éç has welcomed 21 new faculty members through the DDFA initiative:
