Gender Equity Lead: Nika Stoop, Office of Diversity & Inclusion
Representative on the Diversity Council: Madison Herman, The VOICE Center
OVERVIEW
In it's second year, the Gender Equity Alliance had a booth at the fall Catapalooza and made buttons for students, faculty, staff and kids! For that event we made a handout and webpage of all the gender related groups on campus.
The fall meeting included bystander advocate training and the spring featured a panel talking about strategies for creating inclusive departments. We also came together for a “Belonging in Bozeman Community Chat” and reviewed the maternity and parental leave policy and breastfeeding policy to make the wording more inclusive and clearer.
CATAPALOOZA
Thank you to our volunteers who made about 30 buttons, cut out button templates, caught
flying cover tents, and talked to many people – students, faculty and staff…and kids
– who were interested in gender equity on campus. We also gave out a handout with
all of the gender related groups on campus. It is also available on the web.
PRESIDENT'S AWARD FOR GENDER EQUITY
The President’s Awards for Gender Equity are designed to honor members of the MSU community who have worked to improve issues related to gender, equity, diversity and inclusion. These awards are given out a two times during the year – a faculty or staff member is recognized as part of Spring Convocation, and undergraduate and graduate student awards are given out as part of MSU's Day of Student Recognition.
