Dr. Jesus Trevino, USD's new Associate Vice President for Diversity,
presented an inclusive training workshop at the Law School this week,
hosted by Interim Dean Geu. Dr. Trevino's desire is to implement a
strategy of inclusive excellence at USD as he did at the University of
Denver where minority students represented only 11% of the student body
in 2002 and increased to 20% as of this past summer. Dr. Trevino stated
that "inclusive excellence is a transformation of the University of
South Dakota into an institution that embeds diversity and inclusiveness
into everything it does." Faculty and staff attended Monday's
inclusive training session, the first such session at USD. These
individuals look forward to the part they can play in diversity.
