Mission Statement 
We are a diverse team of change agents serving the CFAES community, the broader university, and residents of the state of Ohio through our connection to OSU Extension. We celebrate and honor all identities through educational webinars, workshops, on-line resources, and individual communication/consultation. We are allies for marginalized groups, upholding the highest standards to achieve equity and inclusion and act as catalysts to reshape College culture so that we all can enjoy the same opportunities with all our intersecting identities.
