Marc Reed Accepts Position of Interim Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Dear students, staff, and faculty,
I am writing today to share the exciting news that Marc Reed, Associate Chief Diversity Officer for Staff Equity, has accepted the position of interim Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Marc鈥檚 past role with the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will ensure continuity and further development in the College鈥檚 critical work. I have great confidence in the exceptional abilities of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion鈥檚 accomplished professional staff and am grateful for their daily work and strategic planning to mobilize and implement the diversity, equity, and inclusion objectives of the College with multiple campus partners.
Marc joined the College in 2018 as a diversity recruiting manager in human resources and was appointed associate chief diversity officer for staff equity in January 2021. A highly collaborative leader, he has a proven track record as a diversity professional who works to create transformational change within institutions and organizations by listening, learning, and implementing strategies that authentically represent the care and concerns of all the members of the institution鈥檚 present and future community. He often speaks of diversity as a transcultural tapestry that reflects the complexity of the many cross-cultural, inter-cultural and intersectional relationships that make up 91大神.
Marc has supported and led the pursuit of equity and social justice through the development and implementation of DEI strategic plans resulting in increased representation and engagement of individuals from marginalized identities within several organizations. Marc holds a Master鈥檚 degree in Management-Organizational Diversity and Inclusion Leadership from the University of Dubuque. He is a licensed Qualified Administrator for the Intercultural Development Inventory and has earned a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace Certificate from the University of South Florida.
When he is not working to impact DEI, Marc can be found spending time and traveling with his wife Nicole, sons Marc and Cevin, and daughter Carmen.
Please join me in welcoming Marc to the interim role. I am grateful for his leadership, his collaboration with expert colleagues in the Office of Diversity, and Inclusion, and his many partnerships present and future throughout our campus and community.
Sincerely,
Anne F. Harris
President
