Faculty Spotlights

Faculty and Staff Spotlights

The Faculty and Staff Spotlight Project is aimed at producing videos that document the varied ways faculty and staff contribute to Black life and living in the USF community and/or who research and teach in areas related to Black Studies, broadly defined. Our university is populated by amazing people of all races, genders, sexualities, creeds, and backgrounds that work to make USF inclusive of its diverse students and employees, from housing and residential education to research institutes and community-engaged projects. IBL feels honored to be able to serve as a hub and create a space that will highlight and demonstrate all the work being done on campus and beyond by folks like you.
