Diversity & Inclusion

Statement on Diversity and Inclusion

Recruitment, Retention, and Staff Support

The Registrar's Office works to create an environment that is welcoming, diverse and inclusive of all staff which includes frequent all-staff meetings, one-on-one meetings with supervisors and smaller focused team meetings. This extends to the environment we create for our students.  Each staff member develops a professional development plan based on the AACRAO competencies and proficiencies.

The Registrar’s Office staff is a mix of ages, genders, backgrounds, married/single, and ethnicities which includes our student employees. All are exceptionally talented hard workers despite little recognition.  They support each other, work well with faculty and staff in other offices, and help to create an environment of inclusiveness where everyone has a voice.  Multiple staff of various backgrounds have been promoted within the office to more responsible positions. 

Registrar Braz continued to lead a campus-wide “Name and Gender Identity” initiative to support all students (and eventually faculty and staff) who desire to display their chosen name, gender identity, and pronoun in Banner. She continues to respond to student feedback and coordinate with ITC to make updates to the system.

Staff have attended several trainings hosted by Human Resources as well as NEACRAO conference sessions on DACA and student diversity issues.
