Diversity & Inclusion

Statement on Diversity and Inclusion

The Registrar's Office supports the College's efforts toward diversity and inclusion through our recruitment and retention of staff, professional development, and College committee work.

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. 

Senior Associate Registrar Ager continues to respond to student feedback and coordinate with ITC to make updates to the Chosen Name system.

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

When hiring new staff, the Registrar's Office has implemented a process to redact applicant resumes to reduce bias within the hiring process and improve the likelihood that diverse candidates will progress through the hiring process.
