DIVERSITAS: EXPANDING DIVERSITY IN WEALTH MANAGEMENT
The University of Akron has created Diversitas, which aims to make the financial planning profession and the wealth management industry more inclusive. This can be done through education, mentorship, and human connection for underrepresented groups in the profession and the industry by mitigating the leading barriers to entry. These barriers include a lack of education, understanding and awareness.
The University of Akron is seeking other Universities to become Partner Universities (Partner U) to expand Diversitas’ reach to improve diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the financial planning profession and wealth management industry through education efforts among Partner Universities Diversitas also seeks Partner Universities to expand the diversitas mission and goals.
OUR VISION:
Improve Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion throughout the financial planning profession and wealth management industry through education.
