Erin,

I am saddened to learn of your departure from Wenatchee. It hurts to know that so much fell on your plate. You have been such a light and a sister in this work across our system, both in  in MSSDC and DEOC. I love and appreciate you beyond words and excited for your next chapter.

Peace,

Hello DEOC,

I have chosen to leave WVC after 8 years. Just wanted to say it was a pleasure to work with all of you! I am yet another DEOC member leaving. My College claims it doesn’t have funding for a cabinet level DEI position and has expected me to be doing 3 jobs (they also made me the Project Director for our HSI Title V grant). I feel my only option is to resign in protest. I hope you can all continue to advocate for Colleges across the State to prioritize DEI work and not to make the positions combined with other responsibilities.

Thanks for all of your support and friendship over the years! My personal email is eetofte at gmail.com<mailto:eetofte at gmail.com>, hope to stay in touch 😊

Take care,

Erin Tofte, JD
Associate Dean of Campus Life, Equity & Inclusion
