“In my time at the College, in a variety of positions, I’ve come to
appreciate the importance of a dedicated and sustained effort around diversity
issues and opportunities,” says Sateia. “In my new role as vice president, I
look forward to working with faculty, staff, and students so that together we
can create the most inclusive environment for living, learning, and
working.”
As vice president for IDE, she will oversee the Office of Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action, Diversity Training and Educational Programs,
the Child Care Resource Office, and the Dartmouth College Child Care
Center.
Sateia’s involvement with diversity at Dartmouth began in 1974 when she
worked in the admissions office
on recruiting efforts. As dean of student life, she served
on numerous campus-wide committees that assessed the College’s progress towards
promoting diversity and inclusion. She has also served as the coordinator for
the diversity efforts in the Dean of the College area and chaired its
divisional Diversity Committee and the Campus Climate Committee. She was also
instrumental in the creation of Dartmouth’s Office of Pluralism and Leadership,
which provides multicultural education and support for Dartmouth
undergraduates.
“Holly’s involvement in diversity on this campus is well known,” says
President Wright. “She has demonstrated an unrelenting commitment to making
Dartmouth an inclusive place for students, faculty, and staff, and I look
forward to her continued work in this area.”
Sateia serves on the steering committee of the Consortium of High
Achievement and Success (CHAS), a collaboration among 34 selective liberal arts
colleges working together to improve the success and satisfaction of students
of color and first generation college students on their campuses.
In addition, she has served as a consultant to numerous New England colleges
regarding the ways that they can better achieve their diversity goals. Earlier
this year, she was elected to the Association of College Unions International
(ACUI) Board of Trustees. In spring 2007, Sateia was also honored by the ACUI
with the Revis A. Cox Memorial Award in recognition of her commitment to
multicultural education. She also serves on the Board of Directors for New
Hampshire Women in Higher Education Leadership.
