Additional departments, campus host Ally facilitations
The Department of Mathematics, Department of Anesthesiology and Mansfield campus are the most recent Ohio State groups that are participating in the Advocates & Allies for Equity initiative by hosting Ally facilitations and modifying behaviors. The initiative exposes men to ways of creating a more equitable environment at the university. To engage your department/unit and help create a more inclusive culture at Ohio State, contactThe Women’s Place, to learn more about the simple process of scheduling an Ally facilitation. Advocate Spotlight: Craighead committed to Advocate role A highly active Advocate in the Advocates & Allies for Equity initiative, Sam Craighead, manager of Learning Experience for Office of Distance Education and eLearning (ODEE), became an Advocate because he was looking for ways to be more directly involved in inclusion efforts in his day-to-day work. Craighead acknowledges that discussing male privilege is not always easy, but this is how change happens. “The conversations we have are sometimes difficult or uncomfortable, but I’ve seen ‘aha’ moments in every facilitation I have been part of, and that is encouraging,” Craighead said. “Culture change is slow, the more people participate and acknowledge a need to change, the sooner this ripple turns into a wave.” Learn more about Sam’s Advocate journey #MeToo Week events and programs The Office of University Compliance and Integrity is working with university and community organizations to plan the second annual #MeToo Week for November 26-30.

Strategies for interrupting Imposter Syndrome The Women’s Place and partners hosted an interactive presentation on impostor syndrome in higher education led by internationally recognized expert and author Dr. Valerie Young this past October. The dynamic, well-attended session was packed full of practical strategies for interrupting impostor syndrome on campus such as: “The solution is not to wait until you no longer feel afraid, insecure, anxious, inadequate or undeserving. The solution is to change your thoughts and behaviors first, and let your feelings catch up later.” – Dr. Valerie Young New preferred last name feature The Office of the Chief Information Officer has launched a new “preferred last name” feature that will allow students, staff and faculty to maintain and display a preferred last name in several university systems (Carmen, email, my.osu.edu). Those who choose to use this feature may prefer to be known by a different or shorter last name for professional and cultural reasons. The preferred last name feature accommodates employees and students who have/use multiple surnames, after marriage to maintain a consistent professional identity, for example. Legal names will continue to be used on all official academic and financial documentation (transcripts, Statement of Account, Buck ID, diploma, payroll, etc.). Learn more

Tuesday, October 16, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Trusting in Your Value. Dealing with the "Impostor Syndrome” Presented by Dr. Melissa Briggs-Phillips Location: Younkin Success Center, Room 150 Some of the most gifted, successful and talented people we know secretly suffer from the Impostor Syndrome, which is described as the inability to internalize one’s successes and count them all as “luck.” Some very successful professionals view themselves as incompetent and a fraud “who will soon be found out.” Successfully overcoming the impostor syndrome can lead to greater professional fulfillment and confidence and alleviate stress. Learn to recognize the symptoms and begin to build your confidence, trust in your own value and deal with your “inner critic.” Dr. Briggs-Phillips is Founder and Owner of Next Generation Behavioral Health, LLC. She describes her executive coaching work as “an accident of history.” She has been providing training experiences for a wide variety of organizations, non-profits and companies for many years. “I tend to resist the moniker of ‘motivational speaker,’ she says, “I do, however, understand the power of a well-timed presentation of concepts to groups and teams. I strive to create something meaningful for anyone that trusts me with those precious stage minutes at their conferences and retreats.” Join us in October to learn more! There is no charge for this event, but registration is required for planning purposes. |
