Taking action that is centered on principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, as the essential and fundamental ingredients of ensuring the success, health, and well-being of our students and community is integral to the way I lead and teach.
- I strive to create and sustain a human-centered culture with environments that foster belonging and well-being.
- I work to improve systems and structures that reduce bias and address inequities.
- I champion inclusive collaboration as the engine needed to advance impactful change.
- I strive to be an equity-minded leader and I follow the equity-minded framework developed by the University of Southern California. This framework focuses on practice and practitioners that are race-conscious and aware of the social and historical context of exclusionary practices in higher education.
- And finally, I aspire to always lead with a growth mindset that centers on growing individual and collective abilities to drive and sustain equitable change while growing my own abilities to do the same.
