Diversity Registry: Look up Employer Diversity Initiatives

We're pleased to unveil the new Diversity Registry -- A reference to look up employers' diversity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace, supplier contracting, markets and other areas.

THE DIVERSITY REGISTRY is your online resource to research and compare information from employers with active diversity programs according to a wide range of indicators. Its mission is to showcase the diversity initiatives of major employers, and to help job seekers, researchers and others to determine the extent to which employers promote diversity within and outside of their organizations. It is accessible at THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online (http://www.blackcollegian.com/registry) with additional features posted at the new partner site, DiversityRegistry.com [beta].

Easily look up employers by name, or skip ahead to one of the Diversity Registry Lookup categories, including:

• Diversity & Inclusion - General

• Employee Affinity Groups and Diversity Networks
• Supplier Diversity & Contracting Programs
• Diversity Awards and Recognitions
