Reporting to the president and serving on the president's senior leadership team, the VPI will provide strategic leadership for the college's efforts to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. The role has two connected aims: to help create the conditions for an inclusive Reed community in which every member can thrive and contribute fully, and to support equitable student success so that students across populations have the opportunity to reach their potential. The vice president will advise institutional strategy and decision making, help Reed understand where experiences and outcomes remain uneven, build institutional capacity to respond, and provide leadership for the Office for Inclusion's people, programs, partnerships, and resources.
Heading the Office for Inclusion, the VPI oversees the multicultural resource center, students for education, equity, and direct service, and the associate dean for climate assessment and belonging strategy; leads the bias education and response team; serves as the staff point person for the diversity, equity, and inclusion committee of the board of trustees; and in collaboration with the dean of the faculty, supervises the director of the center for teaching and learning. The vice president also serves as one of the tri-chairs of the Presidential Council on Campus Climate.
Specifically, the VPI will take on the following opportunities and priorities in this role:
- Strengthen and advance Reed's distinctive culture of inclusion and belonging
- Provide strategic leadership for the Office for Inclusion
- Actively inform and contribute to campus-wide strategy and communication
- Lead through a challenging sociopolitical landscape
- Connect inclusion and belonging to Reed's future and aspirations
