Advancing equity and inclusion at the University of Oregon

The UO Center on Diversity and Community (CoDaC) builds the capacity of individuals and units across campus to advance the university’s goals of equity and inclusion.

CoDaC sponsors a range of programs for individual faculty, graduate students, alumni and staff as well as capacity building initiatives with departments, colleges, schools and research units across campus.

Our initiatives have included faculty and student Writing Circles, Faculty-in-Residence, faculty development workshops on equity and inclusion, and supporting a wide range of equity initiatives on campus. CoDaC has sponsored a range of training programs, professional development workshops and public events.

CoDaC also coordinates and hosts the UO’s institutional membership in the National Center on Faculty Development and Diversity, providing faculty, graduate students, administrators and post-docs access to a wide-range of professional development and productivity resources.

CoDaC works closely with other units in the Division of Equity and Inclusion around the planning and implementation of the new university-wide diversity plan, as supports an ongoing collaboration with the Office of the Provost to strengthen faculty searches and hiring practices.
