Renata Williams, previously the Director of Intercultural Affairs and Inclusive Programming, will assume the role of assistant dean.<\/p>\n<p>Williams will be coordinating and organizing diversity and inclusiveness initiatives and programs across campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are really trying to engage students and expose students to a wide variety of what diversity means, not just here at LVC, but what it\u2019s going to mean at the spaces that our students grace beyond LVC\u201d said Renata Williams, \u201cwe want to engage students with regard to diversity inclusion, whether that\u2019s cultural, ethnicity, ability or orientation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LVC is an organization that promotes inclusive excellence as a core issue in its mission statement, attempts to create a more socially aware and equitable campus through educational curriculum, symposiums and workshops. Williams believes that there are always goals to work towards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s always more that we could be doing,\u201d Williams said, \u201cif you ask a professor when their research is done, they will probably tell you never, there\u2019s always more research to be done. That\u2019s the same view that I take on working towards inclusiveness and working towards diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the message she was trying to explain, Williams stated, \u201cOne of the really important parts that are great to get across to the entire campus, is that it\u2019s no one person\u2019s, one office\u2019s or one committee\u2019s responsibility to be working towards diversity and inclusion. It is the task of every single person on our campus. It should be weaved into our syllabi and weaved into our conversations with students, it should be weaved into the work that we do every single day, and I think that is critical for folks to understand and really to embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a new year at LVC gets underway, students will have many opportunities to engage in thought-provoking and eye-opening activities. Look for Renata Williams, leading the way.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By: Martin Kemper, staff writer Amid staff turnover, LVC promotes a new Assistant Dean of Student Engagement and Inclusion.
