Why Our Work is Important
I believe that faculty should take an active interest in their university, and I want to make sure that all of the amazing women at NAU have the opportunities and resources to be their best selves. – Dr. Karen Renner (Past Co-Chair).
I have been a part of both CSW and CED for over seven years. I realized from voicing my opinions and concerns that there were issues that I wanted to see addressed and I believe one of the best ways to do that was becoming more involved in the decision making process. We are all busy. But to get anything done, we have to prioritize and make the time. Diversity related issues are where I set my priorities. – Debra Edgerton (Past Co-Chair).
Vision
We envision NAU as a welcoming, diverse, and family friendly community that serves as a model of gender equity.
