Shirdonna Lawrence’s Expertise I am a dedicated scholar-practitioner with 10 years of experience in higher education administration, curriculum developing, strategic planning and assessment implementation. I have authored peer-reviewed publications, and advanced a research agenda that investigates deficit-thinking regarding diversity and equity initiatives, how higher education policies perpetuate disparities, and how to create effective and sustainable student and staff success strategies to improve curricular and co-curricular experiences. Securing funding resources to grow the operating budget to support programs for marginalized organizations, creating education and training to better develop staff, leaders and advisors, and leading cross-departmental and town and gown collaborations were done to create co-curricular experiences that would provide an equitable educational experience. Weaved into fulfillment of my job responsibilities has been a commitment to advancing student success initiatives. I accomplished this by working with colleagues and students to create affirming and empowering cultures, structures, and experiences. Fostering space for multicultural belonging requires engagement from internal and external partners. The work I have detailed, such as policy creation and academic programming, was done through optimizing student touchpoints to address their curricular and co-curricular needs. Through this work, I created clearer pathways to understanding how to navigate the university which creates more opportunities for students to feel belonging at the university. Multicultural belonging is the approach from which I operate when seeking to create an environment conducive for fostering belonging and leadership development. Using multicultural belonging as a guiding approach to engaging staff and partners expands opportunities for me to rethink the ways diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism are considered when creating working environments that are conducive for innovation and efficient work. I have experience implementing assessment and strategic plans, creating training curricula, developing successful social and educational programming, and an inherent approach to collaboration.
