JEDI-B Action Plan

Our Process

In 2022, the Office of Organizational Development and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was established to provide professional expertise, strategic leadership, administrative oversight, and collaborative guidance on JEDI-B (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging) matters within the institution, including professional development initiatives and opportunities. The office works closely with leaders across the college to build out initiatives, expand outreach, and enhance capabilities to advance JEDI-B practices to achieve equitable outcomes for faculty, staff, and students.  

In the summer, more than (40) employees participated in several planning sessions to provide feedback and ideas about the priorities and the goals that should be included in the action plan. As a result, the office created a 2-year JEDI-B action plan that is directly aligned to the CCRI 2022–2027 strategic plan and focuses on the key areas to drive student success, increase employee engagement, and build inclusive excellence at CCRI.

This plan is intended to build a transformational, equity-minded culture that actively focuses on eliminating barriers for student readiness and success; educates and trains faculty/staff to be culturally competent to deliver unmatched teaching; and advance equitable outcomes for underserved populations.
