Dr. Theresa White
Greetings! I'm Dr. Theresa White, the Founding Director of the Black Scholars Matter (BSM) Program, Professor and Former Chair of the Department of Africana Studies. I serve as the Co-Chair of the Black Student Success Council (BSSC), and a CSUN Commissioner for Diversity and Inclusion. My goal is to increase the pipeline of students of African descent on campus, to champion Black student success through a holistic ego-system of support, and to serve as a staunch advocate for student well-being, activism and empowerment. The BSM Empowerment Squad and I are excited to share the richness of this unique program with you!
