She was the first African American hired as a dean in Clemson's then 98-year history, and spent 30 years mentoring students, faculty and staff primarily around issues of graduate education policy and implementation, and U.S. and international diversity. A life-long Southerner (she grew up and worked for years in Virginia), she wrestled with the dearth of history on African American contributions to the U.S. landscape, including that of her own family. She was recognized by the Council of Southern Graduate Schools for Outstanding Contributions to the Southern Region for her meticulous and riveting conference plenaries on the history of race and educational opportunities for African Americans in the South.view less
