Who Are Advocates?
The Advocates are faculty members who strongly believe that our college can be enriched by the presence of diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Advocates serve as advisers to the Office Director and as representatives for their departments. The Advocates are expected to attend one meeting per semester and attend our "JHBC Paves the Way” event. The office Advocate’s biographies and photos are in the links below.
If you are interested in becoming an Advocate for the JHBC Office of Academic Equity, please email the Director, Dr. Francisca Beer, at fbeer@csusb.edu and Marina Kamel at marina.kamel@csusb.edu.
