OSU Community: 

We write to update you regarding actions the university is taking in response to the crisis in Gaza, Israel and the region. 

You may recall that last term we sought interest from OSU community members to participate on several task forces and committees that will advance the university’s efforts in this area. Over 50 community members – students, faculty and staff from across the university – submitted their interest. We are glad to report that members for the task forces and committees were selected, and these groups have started to meet.  

Progress updates from fall term, including task force and committee members, can be found here. This website will be updated on a quarterly basis. If you would like to continue receiving progress updates via email, including community engagement opportunities, please sign up here.  

We are grateful to the many OSU community members who have dedicated their time and energy to these efforts, and we look forward to ongoing community conversations on these important topics. 

Sincerely, 

Dan Larson, Vice Provost for Student Affairs & Senior Advisor to the Provost for Operations 
Scott A. Vignos , Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer
