Today I have the honor of hosting an exceptional guest, Dr. Terrell Lamont Strayhorn. Known as a monumental figure in the realm of education and psychology, Dr. Strayhorn has dedicated his life to deepening our understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, or as we know it, DEIB. His insights have earned him a spot among the country's 'Top Diversity Scholars' by Diverse Issues in Higher Education, and he's widely recognized as a 'Bridge-Builder' between academic and student affairs.
Dr. Strayhorn's contributions to the field are both extensive and profound. He has authored 12 books, including the award-winning 'College Students' Sense of Belonging', and over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles and academic publications. His ground-breaking research has not only garnered over $10 million in support from premiere agencies like the Lumina Foundation and National Science Foundation but has also found its way into numerous respected publications such as The Washington Post and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
In addition to his scholarly work, Dr. Strayhorn wears multiple hats. He's the President and CEO of Do Good Work Consulting Group, where he partners with a multitude of institutions to bolster their culture and inclusivity. He's also a professor of Education and Psychology and the Director of the Center for the Study of HBCUs at Virginia Union University, leading their 'Belonging Lab'.
His influence extends to being a Diversity Scholar-in-Residence at Harrisburg Area Community College, a Fellow of AGB's Institute for Leadership & Governance, and an active member of several non-profit boards. Notably, he's a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated.
Dr. Strayhorn, we're truly thrilled to have you with us today."
One of his core passions is translating research-to-practice in ways that improve the material conditions and lived experiences of our most vulnerable populations.
