- Meeting with students to understand their concerns
- Offering mentoring from Culture and Belonging Fellows as a means of support
- Offering support to BC HR Director in facilitating interventions for faculty and staff when needed
- Working with the BC Director of Student Success to support students in a first responder capacity before they consider withdrawing from Bethel to attend another institution, or to drop out of school
- Conduct listening tours to determine what people want in an office focusing on culture and belonging by hearing from the following constituencies:
- Student campus organizations
- Faculty divisions
- Staff Welfare Committee
- Affiliates
- Alumni groups
- Any other groups indigenous to the Bethel Community
- Belonging survey: We are asking for students, faculty, staff, and alumni to participate in a survey that addresses how people feel about belonging at Bethel
