The following staff within the Division of Student Life have volunteered to engage in critical work pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The volunteers on the Equity Action Plan Task Force will be developing a comprehensive equity action plan that aligns with Divisional and institutional values, supports an equitable experience for all staff members, results in effective recruitment, and retention of a diverse staff, and provides for opportunities to increased cultural competency. The Equity Action Plan Task Force will deliver initial recommendations in summer of 2021.
The volunteers for the “Quick Delivery” Project Team will be facilitating opportunities for Divisional staff to engage in learning activities focused on equity and inclusion. Their work is referred to as “quick delivery” projects since these learning opportunities will occur over the next few months and serve as either a starting point or to augment other professional and personal learning. The Quick Delivery Project Team will provide programmatic offerings starting in winter quarter 2021.
We are grateful to these talented team members for their willingness to share their time and skills to these important projects.
