After almost 30 years of dedicated service in Counseling Services, Larry Ellis is transitioning to the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (ODEI) as Director of Diversity Initiatives under Chief Diversity Officer Ainsley Thomas.
Thomas is looking forward to working with Ellis to focus more on student mental health. More marginalized students from various cultural backgrounds, gender expressions and veterans are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation. The ODEI must be prepared to address these concerns as it continues to engage in community outreach. By addressing the intersection between diversity and mental health, we can work toward more inclusive and effective mental health care.
Ellis will be located in ADM 121.
In service,
Ainsley Thomas
Chief Diversity Officer
