A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
The James A. Triandiflou Institute for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Transformative Practice was unveiled in the Spring of 2022 with a mission to foster an environment that respects, embraces, and promotes cultural humility, civil discourse, and active engagement in developing an inclusive and vibrant community of transformational agents committed to positive change in the world.
Our Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer provides counsel on all matters pertaining to diversity and inclusive excellence on campus. The CDIO also chairs the Campus-City Relations Committee (CCRC). The purpose of the Campus-City Relations Committee (CCRC) is to maintain and strengthen positive relations between the college and the City of Oswego, with efforts always grounded in the mission: One City. One Campus. One Community. Several students and employees of the college serve on the Mayor appointed CCRC.
Each of the schools within the institution (SOB, CLAS, SCMA, and SOE) has a standing Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students. In 2022, the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer formed a campus-wide CDIO Advisory Council comprised of the chairs of the aforementioned committees, as well as other individuals doing equity and inclusion work in their areas. The Advisory Council assists the CDIO in identifying areas in need of additional support and facilitates campus-wide collaboration and communication around DEI practices, initiatives, and strategies.
In addition, diversity, equity, and inclusion are central operative values in SUNY Oswego's strategic Institutional Plan (Tomorrow: Greater Impact and Success)
