Working in a community of educators is a gift which requires a personal commitment of citizenship from all of its members.

“Education changes the world.”

What DEI means to me:

I believe it is our obligation to build our university and college communities to mirror the world. The success in doing that provides models for behavior and learning for all members. A lack of success in accomplishing that provides food for thought and action.
