DEI Goals

The Office of Enrollment Management team is committed to the following priorities during the upcoming fiscal year:

  • Building upon and measuring the effectiveness of our targeted programs intended to broadly diversify our undergraduate student body
  • Continuing our efforts to have broader outreach and recruitment for staff and develop consistency in hiring practices and onboarding
  • Developing tailored professional development opportunities specific to job type/role in an effort to retain broadly diverse and talented staff
  • Remaining dedicated to staff pay equity reviews and adjustments
  • Aligning our organizational structure in a way that better allows us to achieve campus objectives
  • Revisiting recommendations provided by the Student Success Task Force in 2019, completing work that was sidelined by the pandemic, in an effort to improve the student experience
  • Collaborating with campus partners to achieve shared enrollment objectives
    • Measurable items include recruitment programming efforts, coordinated campus meetings, and strategic enrollment planning documents.
  • Developing a revised staffing model for DEI efforts which creates greater organizational stability and the opportunity for additional staff engagement
  • Developing a DEI education program that focuses on DEI skill-building in areas of interest for individual staff members:
    • Identifying specific skills, sharing reports, and creating a skills inventory
    • Reinstating a DEI education requirement for OEM staff members
    • Documenting DEI activity participation on an annual basis in staff performance evaluations
    • Training for all staff, including student, permanent, and temporary employees, in DEI areas to include unconscious bias
