In my 19 years in the academy, I have served in a range of roles, from an untenured assistant professor to a tenured full professor and endowed chair; from an assistant director to an upper-level administrator; from an unpublished writer to a scholar in my field. 

​

I am also a Black woman, and parent, who understands the unique racialized and gendered challenges that women of color (WOC) experience within U.S. higher educational institutions. ​

 

In this confidential space, the resource groups will help WOC faculty come together in community with one another, to offer support, advice, and empowerment in hopes that she/they can thrive, both personally and professionally, in a way that aligns with her/their values and goals.
