Associate Director, Data Governance
Information technology, Kent campus
Amanda Dolan practices Kent State University’s “Flashes Take Care of Flashes” philosophy and its values of diversity, equity and inclusion in her service on the Anti-Racism Task Force. Dolan served as the chair of the accessibility subcommittee, where her unique perspective and forward-thinking approach to student-focused solutions helped the task force consider more nuanced ways to provide access with resources and technology – with success for ALL students in mind.
Also while working for the task force, Dolan developed a sophisticated recommendations dashboard to provide the Kent State community with ongoing updates and show how the task force is progressing toward its goals. She has also trained a graduate student to input data to keep the dashboard current. Dolan continues to act as a steward and role model as she works with students and staff across the eight-campus system to support the task force’s goals in project planning, diversity and inclusion.
