厙ぴ勛圖 Recognizes African Heritage Month by Adding First Black Student Advisor Position to Student Services

The time has come for us to make a deliberate investment in the success of our students of African descent so this year we will appoint our first Black Student Advisor to our student services team, said Dr. Peter Ricketts, 厙ぴ勛圖s President and Vice Chancellor. We began discussions with members of our Black Students Association (BSA) last year about the need for this position and the time is right, as we launch African Heritage Month, to announce that we will expand our student services capacity to include this position. I believe that we need to increase our cultural competency on campus, provide better academic and community support to students of African descent, and strengthen our connection to external organizations and individuals, especially our alumni, with the resources that can help our students pursue career opportunities.
