A university committee looking to fill the position of vice president for diversity and equity will be holding open forums to introduce their top four choices to the university community.
The forums will be held over a month, with one candidate presenting each week. Candidates will speak for 20 minutes at each forum and then hold a question and answer session. Videos of the presentation will be posted for each candidate on March 7, and online comments can be posted through March 14.
The vice president for diversity and equity is meant to plan, promote and advance a campus culture that fosters equity, diversity and inclusiveness.
According to the VCU Position Search website, the candidate will be knowledgeable in policies and procedures like affirmative action, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act.
Candidates up for consideration are Sonia B. Mañjon, Ph.D., Denise O. Green, Ph.D., Yvette M. Alex-Assensoh, Ph.D., J.D. and Melva E.M. Newsom, Ph.D.

| Green has served as the associate vice president for institutional diversity at Central Michigan University since 2007. At the university, she oversees Multicultural Academic Student Services; the Office of Diversity Education; Native American Programs; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Services; and Pre-College Programs. Green will be presenting at VCU Tuesday, Feb. 21. |
