[0:05] Simply put, I'm all in.
[0:08] The University of Nebraska is a special place,
[0:11] because of the spirit of collaboration
[0:13] and community that exists here.
[0:16] That only remains true, if we are intentional and diligent
[0:21] in our efforts to recognize every person
[0:23] and perspective in that community.
[0:27] And seek to grow the diversity of our community.
[0:31] I am committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.
[0:35] It is vital to our mission and enhances
[0:37] our educational experiences for our students
[0:41] and the excellence that we do in teaching and learning.
[0:44] When we say that every person
[0:45] in every interaction matters,
[0:47] I think that what we are saying is
[0:49] that we truly value the contributions of each person
[0:53] and that when we treat one another
[0:54] in a way that demonstrates that value
[0:57] we elevate both the individual and the whole.
[1:01] Inclusive and inviting spaces create community.
[1:03] And when we have community,
[1:06] we have the option,
[1:08] for creating real change.
[1:10] Each of us is created as an equal.
[1:13] Each of us however,
[1:14] has had a unique journey.
[1:17] That journey,
[1:18] the uniqueness of that journey is what makes us
[1:20] strong when we come together as a team.
[1:24] Celebrating the differences between the different types
[1:28] of people that work at the university,
[1:31] will lead to a better working environment
[1:34] and a better research teaching and extension environment.
[1:38] Which can only lead to grand successes for the university
[1:42] in the short term and the long run.
[1:45] Diversity is a core element
[1:47] of the rich and inviting culture,
[1:49] that we invite and seek to foster on campus
[1:51] across Nebraska and beyond.
[1:54] An IANR that does not embody diversity is incomplete.
[1:58] Less than excellent and not a leader.
[2:01] It's essential to the success of one and all
[2:03] at IANR and the people that we serve.
[2:06] As a leader, I will use my role to center voices
[2:11] of faculty, staff, and students of diverse identities
[2:14] in developing diversity, inclusive and equitable practice.
[2:19] Here within the Institute of Ag and Natural Resources and
[2:23] across the University of Nebraska Lincoln and
[2:26] the University of Nebraska.
[2:29] I'm all in and talk is cheap.
[2:31] So I want you to help hold me accountable as we go forward
[2:36] and I will hold you accountable
[2:38] as we make IANR and even more equitable and inclusive place.
