Commission on Commissions (CoCom)

The purpose of the Commission on Commissions is to support, broaden, and enhance the ability of each commission’s impact on the campus community through intersectional partnerships among the member commissions. CoCom provides a bridge so that the independent work of each commission can be amplified, bringing additional voices and greater visibility to identified issues. CoCom provides a forum to discuss the ongoing work, objectives, and goals of each commission to foster those activities and capitalize on intersectional ties when appropriate.

CoCom is an equal partner with the other diversity commissions and does not supersede or obviate the role or activities of the member commissions. CoCom serves in an advisory capacity to the Vice President for Inclusive Excellence in matters of diversity and inclusion. Along with the diversity commissions, CoCom has the responsibility of examining and recommending policies, practices and programs that affect such efforts within the NAU community.
