Faculty and staff members who are interested in joining the College’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) Council are reminded to complete the DE&I Membership Interest eForm by end-of-day on Wednesday, Apr. 7.

The formation of a College DE&I Council is one of the initiatives in the Cincinnati State Strategic Plan 2025.

The work of the DE&I Council work will support implementation of the College’s equity value statement as a foundational principle across all components of the 2025 Strategic Plan.

The College’s Equity Value Statement is: We believe in contributing to a socially and economically equitable society. We honor the diversity and inclusiveness of our College community and strive to hear all voices.

The initial tasks of the DE&I Council include:

• develop a Board of Trustees-approved statement of Institutional commitment to DE&I
• develop an institutional DE&I Plan
• pursue opportunities for enhanced communications related to DE&I
• identify implementation strategies and milestones
