excellence while addressing the interests and needs of the African
American community.
This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Alma Clayton-Pedersen,Senior
Policy Director at the Association of American Colleges and
Universities (AA C&U) and a leader in diversity
education. Prior to joining the AA C&U, Dr.
Clayton-Pedersen spent 15 years at Vanderbilt University, where she

administrative positions, including Assistant to the Provost and
Director of Academic Affairs in Athletics; Associate Dean for
Undergraduate Academic Affairs; Assistant Director of an education
policy center; and Assistant to the Dean of Students.
Dr. Clayton-Pedersen co-founded Vanderbilt’s Common Destiny
Alliance (CODA ), a collaboration of organizations and researchers
promoting diversity as an opportunity rather than a problem through
sound research that debunks myths leading to discriminatory
practices.
Dr. Clayton-Pedersen will also conduct a Diversity Education Seminar and
Workshop during the day.
