秋天是我最喜欢的季节。 酷热消退,凉爽的天气盛行,白昼缩短,夏天的绿、粉、红让位于黄色、橙色和棕色的柔和而深刻的美,大自然准备好了收获。 虽然我们很容易沉迷于即将到来的冬季,但这样做的话,我相信我们可能会错过真正欣赏我们在生长季节辛勤劳动的成果。 过去的近两年确实是一场混乱的危机,今年秋天,我们可能比以往任何时候都更能最终反思每个人是多么努力地度过难关。
如果还不清楚的话,威尼斯人娱乐城努力确保我们的文化和氛围对每个人都是有利的。 尽管面临危机,但在过去一年半的时间里,威尼斯人娱乐城看到了一个机会,抓住这个特殊生长季节的势头,为我们所有人更好地建设和重建。
今年有许多倡议和项目值得关注,以支持我们在校园的DEI努力。
Roos倡导社区变革 began in the Summer of 2020 after the murder of George Floyd and the nation’s renewed illumination of the unrelenting ill-effects of racism. 该倡议促进了校园和社区的深思熟虑的行动,以确保持久和全面的变化。 A few of the initiatives include the 关键的对话 panel series, mandatory trainings on bias and microaggressions for all 威尼斯人娱乐城 employees, listening sessions and actions plans for minoritized students and staff, as well as the creation of the Faculty Search Support Team, a group tasked with helping search committees engage in inclusive hiring practices.
今年,我们还实施了另一项令人兴奋的新举措。 We are building out the Chancellor’s Diversity Council to provide better representation of groups across campus. 理事会将有来自每所学校、学术单位、行政单位、学生、社区成员和亲和团体的正式代表。 This effort aims to provide improved collaboration, communication and support across academic and administrative units related to 威尼斯人娱乐城’s DEI goals.
今年有很多很棒的机会参与其中。 You should always look out for our annual lectures, but if you are interested in engaging on a more community-based and personal level, consider joining one of our 亲和力组 or our 提倡多样性 program. 你甚至可以考虑加入在你自己的学校或单位发生的惊人的DEI努力。
