Abstract
East Tennessee State University’s Mary V. Jordan Multicultural Center, located in the D.P. Culp Student Center, now has newly appointed leadership at the helm.
Dr. Kevin L. Brooks will serve as director of the Multicultural Center at ETSU and Student Access and Success following a national search for the position. His new role began in September.
“I believe that the Multicultural Center impacts the campus and community through its provision of programs that promote cross-cultural learning and awareness,” said Brooks. “My personal desire is that we as individuals, as a campus community, and as citizens of this region always strive to build bridges in our collective purpose to serve people. The Multicultural Center’s embracement of creating a nurturing and inclusive environment that celebrates our commitment to diversity and champions inclusion makes this possible.”
