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

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.

5th Annual Diversity
Pre-Conference 2008
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.
