We’ve met three times since the beginning of the semester and like any new group of people, we are getting to know one another – the strengths and talents we bring to the team, and most importantly, we’re breaking down our charge, establishing timelines, scheduling meetings with a wide swath of concerned constituents on campus – all while remembering that change is a process and many many folks who are no longer on campus have been part of the change process that got us to this unique opportunity to make a difference.
We’re hear to listen before we make recommendations and to help that process we’re opening up standing office hours between now and Spring Break so that you can come to any of us with concerns, constructive criticism, and ideas! Be aware that when you present ideas – as awesome as they are to you, we’ll ask you Why? and we’ll keep asking you Why? so that we can better understand in order for us to make better recommendations in a timely way. The clock is ticking – tic…toc…so don’t stay silent – let us know what you think – we’re one email away! equitytaskforce@wesleyan.edu
