Diversity

OCPA is an organization that supports the growth and development of all individuals. In protecting the rights and dignity of all people, OCPA is committed to a diverse and caring organization through the recruitment of its members and the development of appropriate professional development opportunities.

The Diversity Chair is charged with providing avenues for higher education professionals in Ohio to learn more about diversity. There are several OCPA projects planned for this year and our expectation is that each event will address various issues and needs of higher education professionals interested in exploring the area of diversity.

Message from the Diversity Chair

I want to meet the needs of all diverse individuals that work in or around student affairs for the state of Ohio. I am actively working toward creating a networking and support system for diverse individuals in Ohio. In an effort to continue to provide the most quality surrounding diversity issues, we need your feedback. Please download this survey, fill it out and send it to Annie Russell, Diversity Chair for OCPA, at erussel@bgsu.edu. Thanks for your participation! Please email or call me with suggestions for improving our approach to diversity.

Best Wishes,
Annie Russell

Making Diverse Connections: Exploring Multiple Oppressions

To celebrate the fifth year of the Ohio College Personnel Association’s Annual Diversity Pre-Conference, it is important to consider cross-sections of diversity and how to improve our multicultural and diversity competence in a comprehensive manner.  This year’s Diversity Pre-Conference theme centers on the intersections of diversity issues, as well as how having multiple identities affects the lives of our students.  We will explore the many ways that identities interact with each other and take an in-depth approach to improving our multicultural and diversity competence.

Diversity Pre-Conference 2007

The Ohio College Personnel Association (OCPA) is dedicated to providing quality professional development opportunities that enhance student learning, foster an appreciation of diversity and encourage collaborative partnerships among student affairs professionals in Ohio. One of the main foci in this endeavor is the enhancement of diversity in student affairs in the state of Ohio. As a part of that for several years now, OCPA has annually offered a half-day Diversity Pre-Conference before the annual OCPA/OASPA conference. This year's conference focused on Diversity Competence in Student Affairs and was a great success. You can see the results of the evaluation (doc).
