Diversity Development

Diversity is differences among people including age, class, ethinicity, gender, ability, race, sexual orientation, spiritual practices, size and many other human differences. The diversity development section of this Extension HR website is a resource for OSU Extension and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences staff, faculty and students. Send diversity related facts or community events to Kathy Lechman.

  • Unity: CFAES faculty, staff and students are committed to each other
  • Community: CFAES offers a sense of belonging for all
  • Slogan and logo offer a visual identity for diversity efforts and were developed with student, faculty and staff input
