A brief history of the group
Education/Trainiers for Office Equity and Inclusion Education Officer posting has been released
Once the persons are hired, we should setup a meeting with them to see potential partnerships

Lack of concrete strategy provides CTLT with an opportunity to “play ahead of the game” and start relationships with other/new staff and units
Look into Universal Instructional Design for face-to-face classes
Some work has already been done by the DBL team
