discusses the group’s ongoing efforts to address staff concerns and drive meaningful change. Among their initiatives are improving parking and transportation options, advocating for flexible work arrangements and raising awareness of accessibility challenges faced by individuals with learning differences. </p><p>Reflecting on her unique perspective in DEI work, Boyce underscores the importance of recognizing both privileged and non-privileged identities. She describes herself as a “straight, white, cisgender American woman,” emphasizing how this awareness has informed her approach to diversity and inclusion. <span> </span></p><div data-entity-type="sidebar" data-entity-uuid="412b8ba0-b388-46ef-a21f-d9c4e1ad9e5d" data-embed-button="sidebar_embed" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:sidebar.sidebar_embed" class="align-right embedded-entity width-wide" data-langcode="en" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]"><div class="sidebar well"> <div class="stories-heading"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h2>ABOUT THE INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE PODCAST</h2> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar-body"><p><span>Join Erin Sember-Chase and Toral Patel from the Department of Inclusion and Belonging for a bi-weekly podcast series where they explore various topics related to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at work. During each episode's interview, they provide a platform for campus colleagues in various roles to share their lived experiences, thoughts and ideas around how to create cultures of belonging, especially in the workplace. You can listen to this podcast on your phone, at your desk, on your way to work, while you are taking a break, even while you get ready for bed! </span></p></div> </div> </div> <p>“It's important not to just jump right into this work,” Boyce cautioned. “It isn’t meant to be undertaken lightly or thoughtlessly. I’ve been fortunate to have generous colleagues and supervisors who taught me so much and helped me lay the groundwork for identifying issues and understanding my responsibility to make a difference.” </p><p>In recognition of her dedication to the committee’s work, Boyce received the Employee Assembly’s <a href="https://assembly.cornell.edu/shared-governance/employee-assembly/awards/award-staff-integrity-and-inclusion"><strong>Award for Staff Inclusion and Integrity</strong></a>. This award honors staff members who foster a culture of belonging and promote a workplace grounded in honesty, fairness and respect for all. </p><p>“This work can be energizing, but it can also be draining,” Boyce acknowledged. “To truly engage in this work, you must accept both those things and still do it anyway. There is an inherent risk in it, and there are going to be times when you try and fail. But that’s what keeps me grounded, focused and optimistic about continuing this work.” </p><p>Tune in to <a
