The Center for Ethics and Human Rights is excited to announce a new professional development opportunity for our staff, students and faculty, The LE2AD (Leadership, Ethics, Equity, Advocacy and Diversity) Academy @ CSU. Our first presenter for the launch of this new program is Rico Munn, Chief of Staff, Office of the President at Colorado State University.
There is a difference between being “The Boss” and being a leader. Leadership requires an understanding of self that connects to a deep understanding of the context where you seek to lead. In this dialogue, Rico will share a six-part framework he has developed for “holding the story” of leadership and how that shapes the nature of your leadership and the possibilities for your leadership context.

”The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others.”
bell hooks
The Multicultural Staff and Faculty Council (MSFC) would like to acknowledge a recent incident within the Colorado State University (CSU) community that has resulted in BIPOC community members – specifically Black students, staff, and faculty – feeling hurt, threatened, or targeted. We acknowledge that the intent of an incident does not always match the impact. While more information is being gathered, Blackface – perceived or real – caused subsequent harm in the CSU and greater community.
To this end, we would like our staff and faculty of color to know that we are here. We stand in community and solidarity. If you know of any staff or faculty that are hurting, we invite you to reach out to MSFC and encourage you to access the available university or community resources. If you have a need (to bond, celebrate, mourn, or vent), please email us so that we can organize around that need.
In the words of bell hooks, it is only by moving against dominance and oppression, with acts of love and solidarity, that we create liberation.
In Solidarity,
The Multicultural Staff and Faculty Council
