It was a heart-wrenching experience that makes Dale Harris cringe to this day. The Senior Project Manager for Facilities Operations and Development moved to Alabama from Trinidad and Tobago in 1991. It was there where he came face-to-face with racism.
He worked in a restaurant and one day, one of his regular customers, a Caucasian woman said to him, “You’re not from here, so you’re not like these other Black folks here.”
“This was pure ignorance because except for my accent, I’m exactly like them,” Harris said. “I spent a lot of time being angry.”

Diversity and inclusion are important to me because, when people believe that they are an important part of a team, they enjoy their work more and perform better. Promoting these initiatives is a great way to encourage faculty and staff in their work, decrease stress overall, and improve interpersonal dynamics.
