Development of the Office of Diversity and Outreach (ODO)

In 2010, the Office of Diversity and Outreach (ODO) was created to oversee DEIA across campus including four professional schools (Dental, Pharmacy, Medicine, and Nursing), the graduate division, and the health and hospital system. This phase was characterized by institutional prioritization of DEIA as a core value, increasing accountability among institutional leadership, creation and maintenance of reporting and regulatory compliance systems, implementation of structural process changes, and initiation of training programs to improve diversity and awareness of barriers to full inclusion.
