Meet The 第九条 Team

Over the past year, we have made tremendous strides in building a team of highly dedicated and skilled professionals. Since February 2022, we added and filled two new positions: the 第九条 Analyst and Interim 第九条 Project Manager. We also filled two vacant 第九条 Investigator positions, recruited an Interim Deputy 第九条 Coordinator, and engaged a nationally recognized 第九条 expert to serve as our Interim Title IX & Gender Equity Officer. 

The goal was to find the right people – people who approach their work with care and compassion, and who are eager to serve our campus.  In the coming months, we will continue to make improvements to our 第九条 program. During the fall of 2023, the university will continue its national search for an Associate Vice President for Title IX and Equal Opportunity.  As part of the search process, the university will be seeking community input from students, staff, and faculty through listening sessions and open 论坛.
