NADOHE Standards of Professional Practice Institute (SPPI)
About SPPI
Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is one of the country's leading private research institutions. Located in Cleveland, CWRU offers a unique combination of forward-thinking educational opportunities in an inspiring cultural setting. Leading-edge faculty engage in teaching and research in a collaborative, hands-on environment. Nationally recognized programs include arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing and social work. About 5,100 undergraduate and 6,700 graduate students comprise the student body. CWRU values excellence by advancing diversity through inclusive thinking, mindful learning, and transformative dialogue. The University vision is embodied in the mission of the Office for Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity (OIDEO). OIDEO provides support and guidance and promotes equitable and fair treatment in employment, education, and other aspects of campus life. The office serves as a resource to the university in the interpretation, understanding, and application of federal and state equal opportunity and affirmative action laws and regulations. Ultimately, the office supports the university's mission by providing strategic leadership in the development of policies, procedures, and programs that will help foster diversity, inclusiveness, and a welcoming environment for faculty, staff, students and others. This office works in tandem with the Equity Office, the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women, the LGBT Center, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs to intentionally and consistently improve the campus climate and culture. CWRU is an anchoring institution within Cleveland, Ohio’s University Circle, a community with one of the nation’s largest concentration of educational, cultural, medical and performing arts organizations (including the University’s own Maltz Performing Arts Center), named by Forbes one of the ten most beautiful neighborhoods in the United States. The city of Cleveland, situated on the southern shore of Lake Erie, is the second largest city in Ohio and the largest media market in the state. Cleveland is known for its access to the arts, music, and theater. The national food press – including publications Gourmet, Food & Wine and Esquire – has heaped praise on several Cleveland spots including “best new restaurant,” “best steakhouse,” “best farm-to-table programs,” and “great new neighborhood eateries.” In 2008, the Chicago Tribune ran a feature article in its “Travel” section proclaiming Cleveland as America’s “hot new dining city.” Many of these great restaurants are in short walking distance from campus. Shuttles are also available for campus transport. More information on University circle can be found here. 2020 SPPI Lodging

NADOHE’s 2019 SPPI was the most relevant, affirming, and comprehensive professional development experience for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) professionals that I have attended. The experienced faculty were practitioners and scholars. They created the conditions for the participants to dialogue about their professional practice and the skills needed to be an effective DEI practitioner. I emerged from the Institute better prepared to lead impactful DEI initiatives and connected to a new network of institutional changemakers. ~Renée Smith-Maddox, Ph.D., Diversity Liaison Officer, University of Southern California, Dworak-Peck School of Social Work
