Confidential Executive Officer - Office of Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

**POSITION DETAILS**

At Queensborough Community College, equity isn't a buzzword, it's a commitment. The Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (OEIB) leads the way in turning that commitment into action. We work in close partnership with students, faculty, staff, and leadership to build a community where every member feels valued and empowered to succeed. Our mission is to translate the College’s core values into meaningful outcomes by operationalizing equity and cultivating an environment where inclusion and belonging are everyday experiences.

OEIB has the critical charge to ensure compliance with CUNY’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Non-Discrimination Policy, the Policy on Sexual Misconduct, and related federal, state, and local laws.
