It is noteworthy that one of the key action items of the ɬÀï·¬'s Action Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism, formulated in 2020, is to recruit and retain more Black faculty members at ɬÀï·¬. Recognizing that recruitment alone is not enough, ɬÀï·¬ acknowledges the imperative of mentorship, support, and networking initiatives to foster an environment in which Black faculty and staff can truly thrive. As such, a cohort of Black Provost Delegates has been selected to play a key role in this regard for Black faculty.Â
Dr. Nicole Lamb Ives, MSW, PhD​ is a distinguished and experienced faculty member and one of the Provostial Delegates appointed to actively support the recruitment and retention of Black faculty at ɬÀï·¬. She is available to support and provide guidance to newly recruited Black faculty members.
