OVPR Unit Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leads

The OVPR Unit DEI Leads help advance the OVPR DEI mission by serving as an umbrella entity for unit representation in the design and implementation of OVPR’s DEI strategic plan and facilitating collaboration across all OVPR units. Together they form a committee that works closely with the Assistant Vice President for Research – DEI Initiatives and the DEI Program Manager to promote DEI knowledge, skills, and best practices. The committee also facilitates idea exchange across our teams to help integrate innovative and effective practices created and enacted within individual units into a broader guiding framework that all units can use to develop and adapt practices for their specific missions.
