The 2020-2021 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Action Plan committed DU to specifically support the Black community. Part of that commitment was to hire a Black Community Experience Coordinator to work in the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) to facilitate the University’s response to the systemic and institutional exclusion of Black people at DU. Today, ODEI would like to announce the hire of Dr. Andriette Jordan-Fields to fill this role.
