The @BMeCommunity brotherhood and all of our relationships will most definitely last a lifetime. No matter where we go in the world, we're able to reflect on how our bonds became stronger through this powerful network. It's always beautiful when you hear someone say Be Who? BMe! – at Pittsburgh, PA

“My work is deliberate—to see Black students as assets, to lift up their experiences, to lift up their humanity. To help stakeholders in higher education design policies [and] create climates on campus for Black students to succeed.”
Replying to @BakerSchoolAU
@AU_SchoolofEd professor Brian McGowan's research is driven by a key question: How do minoritized individuals experience the college classroom? An expert in race and equity in higher education, he centers the perspectives of Black college students in his work. #AUChangeCantWait
