How Philanthropic Giving Promotes Diversity and Opportunity in Higher Ed featuring Jera Oliver

Jera Oliver became a Director of Development because she could
see inequitable situations everywhere. After realizing that money
is a tool, Jera Oliver learned to use fundraising and
philanthropic giving to direct resources to the things that
matter the most to her.

institutions, working within and for the Office of Diversity and
Inclusion at THE Ohio State University. Jera Oliver promotes

groups of people with large amounts of money.
