Dear Panthers, |
As we continue our progress in making UNI a more equitable, inclusive and diverse campus community, we’re excited to announce the two extraordinary members of our faculty and staff who will serve as our next co-chairs for the President's Council for Inclusion, Transformative Social Justice, and Advocacy (CITSJA). |
Janel Alleyne, UNI’s assistant dean of students, and Doug Mupasiri, mathematics department head and professor, both have impressive records of advocating for inclusion. |
|
Janel's career and personal attention have been focused on student discipline and accountability, as well as mentoring, supporting and advocating for underrepresented student populations, including LGBTQ-identified students. She also serves as a member of the UNI's P&S Council representing Student Affairs, the Benefits Advisory Committee and the Healthy Campus Coalition and is a member of the Out and Ally Network . You can read more about her here. |
|
His efforts led to UNI hosting a regional conference supported by the National Science Foundation last year that drew students and faculty from across the Midwest. You can read more about his efforts here. |
The Council is finalizing its recommendations for systemic change and will be coordinating with the President's Office and the broader campus community to begin to create that change this year. |
Please join me in thanking Janel, Doug, and the entire Council for Inclusion, Transformative Social Justice, and Advocacy for their work in guiding us to an even stronger place as a university dedicated to the success of our students, faculty, and staff. |
Panther Proud! |
Mark A. Nook, President |
