The Office of Academic Diversity, part of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, has announced its 2022-23 cohorts of faculty scholars for its two CAMPs:

• CAMPOS, the Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Science
• CAMPSSAH, the Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities

Also, Renetta Garrison Tull, vice chancellor of Diversity Equity and Inclusion, has named Zoila Mendoza, professor of Native American studies, as interim faculty director for CAMPSSAH for 2022-23.

Mendoza, trained as an anthropologist, researches music and dance in the Americas, particularly in Peru and the rest of the Andean region, Quechua-speaking people's forms of knowledge, and the Quechua language revitalization processes.

Tull noted Mendoza’s impressive record of research, her administrative leadership experience — she is chair of the Department of Native American Studies and its graduate program — and long tenure at UC Davis, starting in 1994.
