• Organizing and running events to promote awareness of the importance of social justice and campus diversity (e.g., the Teach-in).
• Identifying faculty for the various university awards related to diversity.
• Fostering faculty involvement in student recruitment and retention efforts(e.g., working with pipeline, bridge, student support, and curricular programs).
• Serving as a liaison with the Division of Inclusion and Equity and Student Senate Diversity Affairs Committee.
