Advocates

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. By listing both FERPing and retired faculty members who have expressed their desire to remain on board, the OAE emphasizes our commitment to preserving valuable experience and talent. The 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.
