Implementation Team

The ARIE Taskforce transitioned to the implementation phase of the ARIE Initiative In Summer 2021. Since Dr. Sharnnia Artis joined our Mason community in Fall 2021, the ARIE Implementation Leadership Team (ILT) has been making meaningful headway. 

The President also constituted the Implementation Working Groups (IWGs), each with a liaison to the ILT, who continue actively working to ensure progress on ARIE goals.
