An associate professor at SUNY Fredonia was recently named to SUNY's fourth cohort of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Fellows (DEISJ). SUNY Chancellor John King, Jr. announced the addition of Dr. Saundra Liggins, who is with Fredonia's Department of English. The fellows will use their interdisciplinary expertise to update and develop courses within SUNY's diversity, equity, and inclusion general education requirements, as well as strengthen the community of practice in the DEISJ field across SUNY's 64 colleges and universities. There were nine fellows selected for the cohort from units throughout the SUNY system.
King says, "Diversity, equity, and inclusion are foundational values to SUNY's mission to remain an engine of upward mobility and student success for people from all backgrounds. The essential work of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice Fellows ensures students receive a well-rounded education. I extend my sincerest congratulations to this year's fellows."
