Update: Staff Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Activities

The Staff Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee kicked off in September and recently initiated a staff survey to select topics and frequency of programming to address the needs of the college.

For October, the committee has selected two workshops for engagement to launch the “NSM Staff Community Conversation” initiative. They will host a 30-minute discussion after each event to get initial reaction and feedback.

  • October 20, 6:00PM – 7:00PM
    Powerful Voices: Dennis Kennedy (’91, ’93, ’99, M.B.A. ’99), Founder & Chair of the National Diversity Council. Learn more and register here.
    • 7:05PM – 7:35PM, join the NSM Staff Community Conversation via Teams
  • October 27, 12:00PM – 1:00PM
    Staff Council’s Workplace Conversation: Diversity 101 presented by Varselles Cummings. Learn more and register here.
    • 4:30PM – 5:00PM, join the NSM Staff Community Conversation via Teams

Anyone in the college is welcome to register and attend the workshops. Staff are encouraged to join the conversation via Teams. Email Stacy Halley, DEI Staff Chair, at sahalley@uh.edu to receive the meeting invite.
