Center for Student Diversity

Dr. Keiwana Perryman has been an invaluable part of the CSD team for the past five years, serving as Associate Director. In this role, Dr. P passionately supported and advocated for students representing the African Diaspora.

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. P will now expand her impact as Director, championing and advocating for all students holding underrepresented and marginalized identities.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. P on this well-deserved achievement!
