LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Tonight we shine the spotlight on the Community Enrichment's Corporate Leadership in Diversity and Inclusion Award winner.
"Rhodes State College has had a footprint in diversity for years and my job is just really to champion and enhance and broaden that footprint of diversity that we have. And what an honor it is that Rhodes State College gets recognized, right, for the wonderful job that they've been doing, and what they're getting ready to do and what they're currently doing," expressed Renee Bradley, special assistant to the president for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Bradley says that the college is starting with themselves first to increase inclusion as they are partnering with the Ohio and the National Diversity Councils. This will give them a broader opportunity for professional development to enhance the college and their students.
"We want them to be ready. You know, we want them to have that exposure here and when they walk in they are as successful as they can be in every area. Not just in the program, but also in their experience with diversity right here at Rhodes," added Bradley.
Rhodes State College and the other award winners will be recognized at the Lima Community Enrichment Dinner on Wednesday, September 21st at the Veterans Civic Center in downtown Lima.
