First, we listen with compassion to understand the experiences that members of our campus bring with them to Queens and the experiences they have while they are here. Second, we lead with curiosity by exploring what those experiences mean for each individual, what each individual might need to better succeed at Queens, and how we might serve in a resource, support, or advocacy role to help ensure those needs are met. Third, we make connections\u2014between individuals, between communities, and to campus and community resources to support connection, increase belonging, and promote success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also partner with individual staff and faculty and administrative and academic departments to identify ways to make our practices more accessible, equitable, inclusive, and affirming for the students and employees on campus. Our collaborations are designed to be transformative\u2014not merely transactional. We seek not just to do but to be\u2014to live our values through practices we seek to hone and refine\u2014through individual efforts and collective reflection\u2014on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who We Are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/dei\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/Renee-Wells.jpg\" alt=\"Renee Wells\" class=\"wp-image-1703\" style=\"width:283px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/dei\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/Renee-Wells.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/dei\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/Renee-Wells-257x300.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Renee Wells<\/strong><br>Assistant Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion \/ Chief Diversity Officer<br><a href=\"mailto:wellsr@queens.edu\">wellsr@queens.edu<\/a> <br>704-971-5406<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/dei\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/David-Brown.jpg\" alt=\"David Brown\" class=\"wp-image-1702\" style=\"width:283px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/dei\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/David-Brown.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.queens.edu\/dei\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/David-Brown-257x300.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David Brown<\/strong><br>Director, Undergraduate Opportunity Programs<br><a href=\"mailto:brownd3@queens.edu\">brownd3@queens.edu<\/a><br>704-337-2254<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us The Office of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) aims to foster a community of care and invite students, staff, and faculty into a community of practice.
