I teach at Delta State University which is in the heart of the Delta Region and excessive poverty exists either from cultural remnant or from policy implications. My area of research is on the persistence of men in post-secondary education because of high rates of matriculation but failure to sustain to graduation. Additionally, I serve as facilitator for Great Books in a private penal system in the Delta Region. I also volunteer approximately 120 hours annually for Habitat for Humanity. As a national chairperson for the Association of Baccalaureate Programs Directors Conference, I have mobilized faculty to participate in fund raising activities such as silent auctions. I am a licensed social worker in the State of Mississippi with a Master’s degree in social work. I also have a Ph.D. in Higher Urban Education.
