Caitlin Hawkins, MSSA, MNO
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant
As a Community Social Worker, I am passionate about creative, authentic engagement in workplaces and communities. My educational and professional experiences in community development and higher education have led me to the understanding that relationships matter, and that relationships with people who are different from ourselves provide opportunities for immense growth and collaboration, as long as we know how to harness those connections. I am especially proud of my ability to approach systems and partnerships with grace, enthusiasm, diplomacy, and a critical eye. At the Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio, I work with organizations and major corporations through every step of the consulting process and engage staff in customized workshops around the topics of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. I work with the express intention of facilitating the growth of inclusive and equitable workplaces in the active pursuit of a more just world.
I have a Master’s of Science in Social Administration and Master’s of Nonprofit Organization from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Women’s and Gender Studies with a minor in Psychology at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, where I concentrated specifically on Critical Race Theory and Feminist Theory.
