Campus Services is continuing to work with our DEI partner Deo Mwano Consultancy (DMC) to provide training for areas in need throughout Campus Services. Training is currently focused on supervisory skills and connecting to the seven principles starting with custodial and dining services.
In the Fall of 2023 DMC will conduct the next annual survey to assess how all employees are feeling about the culture and belonging in our division.
Campus Services is starting the interview process to fill the role Nick Davis occupied before his transition to serve as the Senior Director for Inclusive Culture at Dartmouth's Division of Institutional Diversity and Equity. We will update Campus Services Staff as soon as we have more information to share.

These Storyboards will be used as a place staff can go to read the weekly newsletters, find out about events on campus, upcoming professional development and training opportunities, as well as other community information.

The DEI Council is working on making the space outside the custodial supervisor's office and the paint shop and the area by the copier on the 2nd floor into more of a community space.
