The FPG Multicultural Initiative

The FPG Multicultural Initiative is an innovative vision for conducting early childhood research and outreach on multicultural issues. The Initiative is designed to accomplish four major goals:

Build a climate conducive to recruiting and supporting diversity in FPG staff and in FPG leadership ranks;
Enhance FPG’s overall research and ability to generate new knowledge related to diversity and multicultural issues;
Strengthen community partnerships; and
Extend FPG’s outreach, training and technical assistance capacity related to multicultural issues with local, university, state, national and international audiences.

The FPG Multicultural Initiative is aligned with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Academic Plan which serves as a strategic blueprint for its academic future and financial decisions (find a complete copy of the Academic Plan at www.unc.edu/provost).
