Most of us know her as a cherished colleague and friend.
We also know her as a long-time, devoted advocate
of social justice and equity causes.
Her resume and her professional record prove
that she is uniquely qualified to serve
as the university's Chief Diversity Officer, our CDO.
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be here
and to have been selected
as your new Chief Diversity Officer.
The CDO really supports
the university in leading the diversity agenda.
And that's not something I can do alone.
Each of us must be involved.
CDO's are collaborators,
working with each academic unit, department,
seeing how we can infuse diversity
in our curriculum,
in our co-curriculur activities,
and throughout the university,
so that all of us, and all of our students, thrive.
I look forward to working with all of you.
Thank you so much for coming!
I look forward to working with you.
