Culture, Training and Inclusion

CTI is designed to be the bridge between diversity, equity, and inclusion work, human resources, and the rest of The Michigan Daily. This section focuses on access and inclusion within the newsroom and works to build an inclusive culture from multiple angles. As a member of CTI, you will work on initiatives to create a positive workplace environment, increase professional development opportunities, and manage workplace conflict. This role will provide real world insight into human resources and DEI that will provide skills which will certainly transfer to any and every career path. This position is open to Daily staffers, as well as those who do not have prior experience with The Daily, who are passionate about the intersection of DEI and the workplace. Members are paid and report directly to the CTI Co-Chairs. This role requires attendance at weekly meetings and independent and/or team work throughout the semester. With that being said, the time commitment is manageable and flexible! If you are passionate about creating greater cohesion and integration in the newsroom to ensure every voice is heard, we encourage you to apply! The application closes September 14th, 2023 at 11:59 pm. If you have any questions, please reach out to CTI Co-Chair Meredith Knight (mmknight@umich.edu) or CTI Co-Chair, Nazim Ali (nazimali@umich.edu). We look forward to reading your application!
