Dear Students, Staff, Faculty and Alumni,
As part of UC Berkeley’s commitment to a thriving Chicanx/Latinx (C/L) community on campus, the C/L Task Force was formed to identify the issues impacting the community, including our alumni, and to present recommendations and strategies to campus leadership to address the needs. The task force's findings are summarized in a report that can be found here, C/L Task Force Report.
Following a recommendation from the task force’s report, and to assist the campus leadership in making informed decisions, the Chancellor has provided her support in the formation of the C/L Advisory Committee, as a representative advisory body. The overarching responsibility of this committee is to advise the Chancellor’s Cabinet, which includes the Chancellor, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost (EVCP) and the VCEI, following any recommendations of the task force.
I am pleased to invite your nomination to serve. This is an open call for members of our student, staff, faculty, and alumni communities to join this committee. Please share this information within your networks.
The committee shall meet at least three times each semester, optimally in the following months - September, October, November, December (fall 2018) and February, March, April, May (spring 2019).
You may nominate others, or you may self-nominate. Nominations are due no later than Friday, April 20, 2018, at 5:00 pm. You may enter nominations here, nomination form. Please note, respective supervisory approval is required before an appointment to the C/L Advisory Committee can be confirmed.
In partnership with the C/L Advisory Committee, I look forward to this opportunity to further bring about positive institutional change here at UC Berkeley.
With best regards,
Oscar Dubón
Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion
