I sat down with Alaina Macaulay to speak about her experiences working in a position solely dedicated to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion on a college campus.
"Alaina M. T. Macaulay is the Executive Director of Diversity and Inclusion for the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Since joining the Isenberg family in the Summer of 2019, she has been focused on developing and managing programs that make members of underrepresented groups feel at home at Isenberg, while working with all groups to support them in being engaged and inclusive community members. Prior to her work in Isenberg, she served as the Director of Diversity and Inclusion for Elms College in Chicopee, MA. During her career, Alaina has led workshops and presentations nationally and internationally on the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion and understanding bias. Although she's originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she now calls Springfield, Massachusetts her home. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Charles, daughter, Kiya and dog, Ozzy."
