     basis).
b)  Organizing and running events to promote awareness of the importance of social justice and campus diversity (e.g., the Teach-in).
c)  Identifying faculty for the various university awards related to diversity.
d)  Fostering faculty involvement in student recruitment and retention efforts(e.g., working with pipeline, bridge, student support, and curricular programs).
e)  Serving as a liaison with the Division of Inclusion and Equity and Student Senate Diversity Affairs Committee.
