The Office of Diversity & Equity

Welcome!

I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the Interim Associate Vice Provost for Diversity and Equity. I envision this appointment as an opportunity to work with the faculty and staff across campus with the over-arching goal of continuing to enhance and strengthen our continued commitment to diversity and equity within the academic, research and service entities which encompass KU. In many respects, this is a challenging time for KU but also a time filled with potential and opportunity.

Within that spirit, I remain convinced that there are many positives across campus regarding our good work in the area of diversity — which have been and continue to be very responsive and supportive — that too often are well kept secrets. With your assistance I would like to begin sharing those “good things” with the university community and with our constituencies. Equally important, collectively, we must seek avenues and answers that will continue to move us forward in this increasingly important component of our university.
