Communications Services produces statutory reports such as the Semiannual Report to Congress, content on the OIG public-facing website, its social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter), the OIG’s Eye on ED podcasts, and other audio-visual content. Comms also provides editing services, graphic design, template maintenance, and oversight of publications policies and procedures for the OIG.
Chief Diversity Officer
The Chief Diversity Officer leads the OIG’s efforts to ensure integration of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into our business processes, building an inclusive workplace environment, and retaining, developing, advancing, and recruiting a diverse and talented OIG team.
