Goals and visions about diversity at PSU?
Diversity is not something to be tolerated but celebrated. We ALL contribute to a more diverse campus whether it is through diversity of age, thought, ethnicity, sexual-orientation, color, religion, ability, or even our experiences. It is my hope that through my role as a member of the President’s Commission on Diversity to engage individuals in discovering what it is about themselves and others that make up not only a diverse campus but a diverse community of humanity.

Fun fact:
I share a birthday with President Barack H. Obama.
