DEI Welcomes Five New Team Members
Photos of DEI team members recently hired.
Guided by the OU strategic plan, the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has spearheaded changes that led to the recent acquisition of five new talents. Brittany Carradine-Clemoens is now leading the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with the support of Amy Lyons-Ketchum and Saasha Reese, who are specialized in developing and delivering training to students, faculty and staff.

At the division level, Paola Conte oversees the assessment of programs and their connection with the strategic plan, while Jennifer Robbins manages the administrative tasks for the vice president. She succeeds Pamela Hicks, who recently retired after 30 years at OU.

Welcome, new team members! Thank you, Pam, for your commitment!
