Dear 自慰视频 community,聽
It is an honor to share this year鈥檚 annual report of equity, diversity and inclusion efforts across the 自慰视频 enterprise.聽The 2021鈥�22 academic year was one of resilience and reemerging, as our community experienced the slow return to a life that felt more normal and unrestricted, despite still dealing with many of the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.聽
Last year, we saw the fruits of many efforts aimed at deepening and augmenting our collective efforts. We are now a year into the merger of the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and the provost鈥檚 Office for Inclusive Excellence, as well as the repositioning of our identity centers within the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion鈥攁 deliberate move to broaden and strengthen our resources. We also welcomed our newly appointed , who has been working diligently with each vice chancellor and dean, as well as numerous campus leaders and partners, on building individual strategic plans, as well as an institutional EDI plan for the entire university.
This report reflects highlights of the collective efforts of the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and a campus community united behind the cause of fostering a more equitable, diverse and inclusive environment where all can bring their authentic selves and find a true sense of belonging at 自慰视频. We know this work will never be 鈥渃ompleted.鈥� Instead, we celebrate our incredible strides and forge ahead to greater heights and excellence. The continued development and articulation of our divisional and institutional plans galvanizes us and offers the opportunity to harness the momentum we have achieved so that we can accomplish even more. Building a truly inclusive 自慰视频 is the work of every Commodore鈥攕tudent, faculty, staff, postdoc, alum鈥攁nd I am honored and grateful to be part of these transformative efforts alongside each of you.
