Below is a list of some local community service
projects I have participated in. Though there
is no neat place to fit local community
building activities in traditional Research I
annual faculty reports, these events are an
essential part of my work at the university.
In order to increase diversity in higher
education for future generations, it is
imperative to introduce young people and those
marginalized by race, gender, or class to
college while they are in elementary and
secondary stages of education or in marginalized communities. Below are my
attempts to increase the probability of
a more diverse student population in the
future. |
