History in the Making

The work of the Office of Equity Diversity and Inclusion is made possible with the support of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) council, the Student Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (SEDI) council, and the campus EDI Liaisons.

The EDI Council is comprised of a diverse group of faculty, staff, and students across campus. The council provides advice and consultation to the Chancellor’s cabinet from an equity perspective on policies, programs, and initiatives. Additionally, the council serves as an avenue for members of the university community to gain support in elevating equity and inclusion concerns.

The SEDI council is an integral part of creating a more inclusive and welcoming climate at UW-Parkside. The purpose of the SEDI council is student advocacy. SEDI reviews existing practices that directly affect students and provides a platform for students to voice concerns about campus culture and climate.

The EDI Liaisons are individuals from colleges and offices across campus who keep their respective areas informed of the various initiatives, activities, and programs coming out of the OEDI. Additionally, the liaisons ensure that the OEDI is aware of any cultural or EDI work that is taking place within their areas so we can work together to promote and support those efforts. Below is a list of department and college liaisons:

Ekundayo Akinlade College of Business, Economics, and Computing- (CBEC)

Linnea Booher Alumni Relations

Dina Kaye Library Services

Bryan Lewis College of Natural and Health Science (CNHS)

Colin Matthes College of Arts and Humanities (CAH)

Seif Dana College of Social Science and Professional Studies-(CSSPS)

If you have any questions or would like to appoint a liaison from your area, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!

So, Let's Talk

If you have attended the Moon Shot for Equity trainings or simply want to engage in dynamic and productive conversations about race, equity, and inclusivity on campus, we invite you to join these conversations. SLT is a safe, inclusive space of grace, for faculty and staff to reconvene after the Moon Shot training to debrief, share, and develop ways to incorporate the learnings into curriculum, classrooms, office environments, and even personal lives. The next conversation will take place on Wednesday, October 20^th at 12 noon, check the EDI website or Canvas for meeting location. We hope to see you there.

Not able to attend the meetings? You can still get involved by posting your thoughts and ideas on Parkside’s Moons Shot Community Chat Board located on Canvas. Contact Trina Patterson or DeAnn Possehl if you are interested in participating.
