On today's episode, Tayah Butler and Danya Perry discuss what we should be doing at Poole College of Management (and at all colleges and universities) to help grow the conversation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and how we can embed DEI into the curriculum. As Tayah looks at it, she's like "a river guide, an expert river guide.

Today, Tayah and Danya look at what students, faculty, and organizations can do to navigate the sometimes choppy waters.
