Greetings AAKC!
We are the African American Knowledge Community Co-Chairs for 2011-2013, and we are here to serve and represent you! To introduce ourselves, my name is Crasha Perkins, Program Director for Social Justice and Leadership Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign; and I am Corliss Bennett-McBride, Director of the Center of Black Cultural &Student Affairs on the campus of the University of Southern California. We are excited to bring to you a tenure of transformation and progression, and we need you to be involved in order to facilitate that change! As Co-chairs we have heard you express a desire for a fresh approach to working within the KC. Over the next two years we are invested in bringing your interest to the forefront.
To help us meet our goals, we have an exceptionally talented new Leadership Team! As AAKC leadership we would like to provide you with opportunities to network with members, to experience a more consistent line of communication, to celebrate your professional success stories and to introduce you to research/scholarship and best practices that impact your work with students and colleagues.
If you are interested in finding out more about how you can get involved please send an email to AAKC.Voice@gmail.com and we will contact you!
Kind regards,
