A brief description of the governance and public engagement assessment(s):
Collaborative programs such as The Ripple Effect epitomize CSU's commitment to assessing diversity in terms of governance and public engagement. The Ripple Effect's mission states:
"To assist in the creation of an environment at Colorado State University that fosters productive and supportive relationships and interactions among people. Such an environment is one in which an inclusive gender identity is supported; women and men feel safe; all people are freed from limitations and restrictions of culturally defined sex roles; and all members of the campus community feel empowered and supported by the institution and University community in pursuing their professional and academic aspirations."
The Commission is charged by the University President to identify gender equity concerns and other issues impacting the campus climate for women and forward concerns, recommendations, and program ideas to the University administration through annual meetings with the President and consistent connection and routine communication with the Vice President for Diversity.
