JEDI Council
The Ohio State University College of Engineering’s vision is to be the leader in the discovery, innovation, and education in engineering and architecture among public land grant universities.
The JEDI Mission is to support the Dean and senior leadership in identifying actionable activities to advance the University's mission, vision, and values; monitoring the progress of COE's strategic priorities; and recommending promising practices to promote an environment that is, equitable, embraces diversity, and welcomes all members of the college community.
Leveraging the Inclusive Excellence framework, the council will have three primary focus areas:
- Accountability (Access and Success/Institutional Infrastructure): collaborate with departmental and unit-level inclusive excellence council/diversity committees to review and assess current COE/KSA and department action plans and track strategic plans progress Foundation 1 and Pillar 1.
- Dissemination (Education and Scholarship/Culture, Climate and Community Building): explore and promote formal and informal learning (ex., inclusive pedagogy, workshops, seminars, professional and development) that fosters an inclusive, welcoming environment and engages all members of our community in learning that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible.
- Student Experience: review and provide feedback on college and department strategic plans to enhance the undergraduate and graduate student experience. This will be a subcommittee made up of graduate and undergraduate student organization leaders (JEDIs).
