Guidelines for Including Gender Equity in Diversity Action Plans
The PCOSW Guidelines are intended to provide clarity to the colleges and administrative units in the ongoing development of their Diversity Action Plans. Gender equity ideas suggested in this PowerPoint will address the concerns detailed in the 2004 Parity for Women Report.
For further information about how gender related concerns can be addressed within departments, colleges and other administrative units, please contact a member of the President’s Commission on the Status of Women Strategic Planning Committee.

Oregon State Advance
OREGON STATE ADVANCE was funded in the fall of 2014 as part of the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE program, which is aimed at increasing the participation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers, thereby developing a more diverse science and engineering workforce. Oregon State is the recipient of an ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (IT) award, which is intended to produce large-scale comprehensive change within our university. The primary goal of OREGON STATE ADVANCE is to serve as a catalyst for advancing the study and practice of equity, inclusion, and justice for women and others from historically underrepresented groups in the academy.
Inclusivity Project
Oregon State University piloted and distributed the first Inclusivity Survey during April and May of 2015. Students, representatives from various academic departments, the graduate school, and several student affairs departments worked together to create a survey in an effort to inform OSU's understanding of inclusivity on campus. The content of this survey is intentionally nimble in an effort to inform existing or emerging concerns as they arise on campus. The survey takes place every other year and during the opposite year, focus groups are conducted in an effort to dig deeper to further understand the student experience as it relates to inclusion and belonging, and how that differs based on identity.
Advancing Careers
2012 workshop and presentation on advancing women's careers via mentoring and sponsorship: A review of the "take-home" messages (PDF) by OSU's Barb Bond, Director of Post-Doctoral Programs in the Graduate School.
University Ombuds Office
PCOSW helped in the establishment of Oregon State University's Ombuds Office, which promotes a civil and inclusive campus community by providing informal, impartial, and confidential conflict management services to all members of the university community. The Ombuds assist with individual concerns through service and education, and serve as change agents to address group conflict and systemic concerns. It is the goal of the Ombuds to foster a culture of healthy, safe and open dialogue, and facilitate cooperative problem resolution.
