It is an honour to be joining the Faculty in this inaugural role. The importance of moving equity, inclusion, anti-racism and anti-oppression work forward in an action oriented way cannot be over emphasized. 

It is heartening to see that so much is already happening in this realm across FHS, and through leadership built on transparency, collaboration, community building and accountability, my vision is that we can advance inclusive excellence in a tangible, measurable way in all aspects of our work and relationships. My hope is that each of us hold ourselves accountable, in big ways and small, for creating cultures of belonging and being co-conspirators in this equity journey. 

I’ve met with many of you already and look forward to being in conversation with many more. I hope that our paths cross soon!
