  Center for American Culture and Race

  With my colleague in China

  I helped to direct the Center for American Culture and Race which is housed on the campus on Guangdong Baiyun University in Guangzhou

  China. This project is funded by a grant from the United States Embassy in Beijing and designed as a counterpart to the American-based Chinese Confucian Centers. There are more than two dozen American Cultural Centers (ACC) in China

  but ours is the only version to deal specifically with matters related to race. Because the American experience cannot be understood without engaging issues of race and ethnicity

  especially those of African-Americans

  this uniquely focused Center will set the African American experience within historical and contemporary contexts through books

  multimodal digital documents

  streamed media

  and faculty and student exchanges. Central to this will be the Archways podcast

  which takes its names from the arches that mark the entrances at JCSU and GBU.

  An experienced

  effective

  and strategic higher education professional with more than six years as a full-time administrator and servant leader

  working in a collaborative structure

  focused on faculty and student success

  academic innovation

  fiscal responsibility

  and operational efficiency

  proven in a challenging enrollment environment amid radical institutional transformation; Skilled in assessment and accreditation

  dedicated to clear communication and customer service for all constituents

  and proficient manager of operational budgets totaling over $25 million.
