Hey everyone, I hope you’re having a great week.
This week, my biggest activity was the High Achieving Women Meeting on Tuesday. There were several presentations and discussions on the issue of retention for high-achieving women. Conversation centered around identifying issues or possible problems, discussing retention programs already in place, how they can perhaps be supplemented, and other possible programs to be created. I thank Commissioner Heery for his attendance at this meeting; I think it was a wonderful opportunity to bring students, faculty and administration together to discuss, and it is obvious that there are a lot of individuals continuing to work diligently on this issue.
-Provost Krendl announced at the meeting that she and Judith Grant have decided to extend the search for the director of the new women’s center. I have a meeting with Dr. Grant this week to discuss the center, and I plan to discuss with her the opportunity to have student voices in this decision.
-Our commission’s interns have been making contacts for Take Back the Night. We are attending a Take Back the Night ralley on Thursday in Pickerington so they get a taste of what it’s all about. I also met with Chief Rick Mayer this past week regarding the parade. Again if you are interested in helping with this event, let me know.
-Our intern Bria is taking care of ordering shower hangers, which will be distributed when they come in early winter quarter.
-There is a meeting this Friday to discuss the retention and diversity forum, and Commissioner’s Roder, Diehl and myself are meeting Tuesday to lay out the groundwork for a lighting walk early winter quarter.
