The current iteration of the program will feature a collaboration with the AS&E Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion (DSDI) Centers where scholars will be able to learn directly from DSDI Center Directors who are active leaders in Tufts' diversity and inclusion efforts. Tufts’ eight identity centers provide safe, inclusive spaces on our campus where students can find friendship and welcoming community, celebrate shared identities, interests and life-issues, learn from others, and work together to advance equity and justice at Tufts, and in the world. All students are welcome at each center.

GLIDE Fellows will be able to utilize Tufts as an incubator for leadership experience. Fellows will work directly with DSDI Directors to learn some of the following skills: 

• How to design and manage diverse workplace teams effectively;
• How to navigate the legal and administrative landscape to incorporate DEIJ in the workplace environment;
• How to implement change at the institutional level and beyond. 

Graduate School of Arts and Sciences students selected for the GLIDE program receive a (taxable) stipend of $1,000 for participation.
