"You can't be what you can't see." - Marian Wright Edelman
Empowering the next generation of leaders to embrace their authentic selves while advocating for others do to the same. It is my hope to challenge students and department staff to think differently about their world view through engaging in courageous conversations. Together, we will create a culture of care that fosters academic and inclusive excellence for all. As we continue to move the needle forward, what will your impact be?
