Whether you are a new student, attending a new college or a returning student, it is important to know what is going on and where. Several centers will now report to Matt Boaz, the Chief Diversity Officer, to have a broader influence on the Wright State campus. Here are a few current updates for the fall semester of 2018.
Changes were made to the Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center, Office of Latinx, Asian and Native American Affairs, Women’s Center, Office of LGBTQA Affairs, Office of Disability Services and the Veteran and Military Center.
The goal of this change is to emphasis the importance of diversity on campus.
President Cheryl B. Schrader said in a WSU Newsroom article, “it is clear that diversity and inclusion is critical to building an environment that fosters innovation, and by elevating the university centers that serve underrepresented populations Wright State is reinforcing that priority.”
The center change will provide the freedom for growth and help to pursue the goal to better services to members and the community.
“Though the centers will be organizationally grouped together under the chief diversity officer, they will not all be in the same location on campus. The university hopes to move Bolinga, LANA, the Women’s Center and the Office of LGBTQA Affairs to the same location. The Office of Disability Services and the Veteran and Military Center will remain in their current locations,” Bob Mihalek wrote in a WSU Newsroom article.
