Diversity Collaborative Initiative

The programs and services offered by George Mason University are open to all who seek them. George Mason does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic national origin (including shared ancestry and/or ethnic characteristics), sex, disability, military status (including veteran status), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, pregnancy status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law. After an initial review of its policies and practices, the university affirms its commitment to meet all federal mandates as articulated in federal law, as well as recent executive orders and federal agency directives.

The Center for International Education has partnered with the Diversity Collaborative to conduct a foundational research study of diversity in leadership throughout the international schools. Drs. Beverly Shaklee and Kimberly Daly created the survey and analyzed results from some 2,000 school heads and leaders world-wide. The Diversity Collaborative recognizes the value of diverse perspectives and the importance of including members of groups that have previously been underrepresented in international school leadership. Hosted by International School Services (ISS) the volunteer Collaborative currently consists of over 100 members in 87 different countries dedicated to leveraging the conversation about all-inclusive diversity and justice in international schools for faculty, staff, students and families that we serve.
