About the ERG:

The employee resource group serves faculty and staff in variety of capacities, including but not limited to: sharing best practices, community building, and hosting trainings on topics pertinent to supporting LGBTQIA+ colleagues and students.

We welcome folks from all OSU regional campuses and institutions co-located with OSU campuses! We meet monthly on Zoom to discuss best practices for supporting our colleagues and students and to identify opportunities for further work. Feel free to make-and-eat your lunch with us! Cameras are optional. Attendees include part-time and full-time faculty from both institutions, and staff from a variety of offices (also from both institutions). Individuals who need to arrive late or leave early due to class/work schedules are welcome to do so, as are individuals who need to bring lunch or a snack due to their class/meeting schedule.

No matter your experience level with LGBTQIA+ topics, you’re welcome to come join the conversation.

The group was founded with strong support from Ohio State Newark Dean/Director Dr. Bill MacDonald after discussing the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community on our campuses. We also have strong support from COTC President Dr. John Berry and many other members of Newark campus leadership.
