Supplier diversity and procurement offices are responsible for buying, supporting, and managing the goods and services purchased by colleges and universities and are a vital yet often overlooked element of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Through them, minority-owned businesses can connect and form vital relationships with institutions of higher education that spend billions of dollars annually on campus purchases.
