My work is all about improving the quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning across the university. In particular, I specialize in equity, accessibility, and racial justice. The university administration espouses these values publicly, yet behind the scenes their practices and policies are often at odds with these commitments. In many university workplaces, my colleagues who focus on DEI efforts-- including some of the most creative and committed professionals I have met-- lack the consistent material and emotional support that makes our work sustainable. Frequent staff turnover makes it difficult to make any steady progress. In this demoralizing climate, I am immensely heartened by the growth of USU, because I know that collectively we can make the university work better for all of us.
