Task Force Role:
Co-Chair: Awareness and Communications Working Group
Why I want to serve on the Task Force:
Despite university efforts to implement initiatives around diversity, equity and inclusion, there are still many challenges and more work to be done. I believe JMU is committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion. I want to learn from the task force, build partnerships, and contribute my knowledge, experience and skills, so together we can advance diversity, equity and inclusion at JMU.
Top three values I bring to this work:
Listening - listening to the stories and experiences of others
Learning/awareness - increasing my awareness about the state of diversity, equity and inclusion at JMU (challenges, opportunities and strengths)
Growing and giving - growing from this experience and being able to contribute to the work to advance efforts and help improve racial equity
