The Office of Access, Civil Rights, and Community, and the Black Faculty and Professionals Alliance thank everyone who attended last week’s State of Black Faculty and Staff event.

Also, BFAPA would like to thank Chancellor Isbell for his remarks and Vice Chancellor Guerra Pérez for providing the demographics presentation and Q&A. For those who could join us, if you have photos you would like to share, add them to the existing shared folder on MS Teams. We have also uploaded the presentation to the MS Teams space once it is provided.

Earlier this month, BFAPA and senior leadership recognized Black faculty, staff, and administration who have achieved accolades over the past year. Chancellor Robert Jones was recognized with a Pioneer Award, and Travis Dixon with a Trailblazer Award. Tekita Bankhead, La Tanya Cobb, Ashley Davis, and Karen Tabb Dina were given Outstanding Achievements awards during the event. Leadership in Service & Innovation was presented to Ollie Watts Davis and Yolanda Williams Goliday, and the Major Career Milestone Awards were presented to Tionna Hunter and Desiree McMillion.  Thank you for your unwavering commitment to excellence. Together, we continue to build a stronger, more inclusive environment for all.
