Education & Learning Opportunities
The Office for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement (ODECE) offers educational and learning opportunities for students, staff, and faculty members at the George Washington University. ODECE includes our Central Team, Multicultural Student Services Center, Title IX, Disability Support Services, and Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement & Public Service.
As an institution of higher education committed to fostering the strongest global leaders, our students, staff, and faculty must be intentional in cultivating the healthiest, safest, and most inclusive campus climate at GW. We recognize that it is our responsibility to create and provide the space for individuals to learn, engage in critical and meaningful dialogue, and feel challenged in positive ways. It is our commitment to foster a university environment that invites students, staff, and faculty to be their authentic selves and build their awareness, skills, and competencies to fully participate and contribute meaningfully on our campus, nationally, and on a global level.
The Associate Vice Provost for Diversity, Equity & Community Engagement works collaboratively with university partners to establish measurable learning outcomes, customized curriculum, and strategic planning for short-term and long-term learning opportunities. Assessing learning is a priority and a learning rubric is established in order to capture the learning of each participant in each engagement. The Associate Vice Provost works with the Office of Disability Support Services, Multicultural Student Services Center, Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service, and Title IX, to provide consultation, resources, and support to advance and sustain inclusive environments for our students, staff, and faculty across the university.
