Diversity Officers Group to Launch State Chapters: The National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE), rapidly emerging as a premier organization of diversity officers in public and private colleges and state systems of higher education, will expand its activities later this year to include state chapters, the organization’s leaders decided in Phoenix at their annual meeting earlier this month.Giving the young group of seasoned diversity professionals more organized reach in individual states will help NADOHE “collectively advance” the work individuals and smaller groups have already done, says NADOHE President Glen Jones, senior associate vice chancellor for academic affairs at Arkansas State University.
Dr. Jones says having state chapters will also enhance the networking abilities of various local groups around the country as individual and isolated groups find colleagues they can share information with and “collectively advance the work that’s out there” on such efforts as globalization, scholarship policies and new recruitment and retention strategies.
