3. Diversity and Inclusion Committee Volunteers needed – request from Office of Inclusion and Equity
There are two immediate areas where we are seeking additional input and expertise. Faculty, staff and students are needed to volunteer to serve on two committees that focus on diversity and inclusion issues. The Office of Inclusion and Equity are seeking volunteers for the University Climate Study and the Martin Luther King Jr. Executive Planning Committee.
Both large committees will begin meeting in the spring. The University Climate Study Committee will be chaired by Neal Rogness, associate professor of statistics and Jeanne Arnold. The MLK committee will be co-chaired by Bobby Springer, associate director of Multicultural Affairs, and a faculty member to be named.
There will be numerous MLK subcommittees: Community Involvement/Awards; Day of Service; Programs (Academic/Co-Curricular/Community Collaboration); Public Relations; and University Closure on MLK Day. Each subcommittee will also need co-chairs.
If you are interested in any of the above-named committees, please submit your name via e-mail to Jessie Holland at hollajes@gvsu.edu. The deadline for submitting names is March 12th.

5. Second City’s Traveling Improvisational Group (attachment)
Hello, attached is information on an upcoming training session that is going to be conducted by Second City's traveling improvisational group on Feb. 26. Our office is co-sponsoring along with the offices of Inclusion and Equity and Risk Management. I believe this would be appropriate for unit heads and assistants. This will be interactive and lively and we include lunch! Please distribute as you think appropriate, we have room for 100.
