In addition to developing recommendations for a sustainable financial model, the study served a larger purpose: providing a road map for improving efficiency across all academic units and campuses. The initial work of the RHE Task Force was then expanded to include and unite all OHIO campuses and functions.
Uniting the System: One OHIO Integration Initiative
- Developed strategic partnership with RHE to train and oversee four regional career coaches.
- Lead and coordinate a university-wide employer relations work group consisting of administrative staff across the institution who regularly engage with employers who recruit students and alumni.
- Travelled to RHE campuses to provide training around addressing student misconduct and academic integrity as part of the One OHIO initiative.
- Collaborated with the Department of Collegiate Athletics to expand the embedded clinician position to provide therapy, mental health resources to student athletics, facilitate drop-in workshops, consult with coaches, and attend weekly team meetings for mental health check-ins.
- Embedded a new psychologist position in the Division of Diversity and Inclusion.
- Continued the counselor position in the Heritage College of Medicine (HCOM) providing therapy, participating on the HCOM taskforce and open forum program, and facilitating drop-in workshops.
