More Than Just Another Keynote Speaker…Dr. Adolph Brown is “Delightfully Different!”

Dr. Adolph Brown III is an internationally renowned credentialed master teacher, character education leader, servant leadership consultant, educational & clinical psychologist, author, researcher, entrepreneur, and an influential thinker/practitioner in the fields of education, human behavior, and neuroscience. He was once the youngest tenured full professor in our nation. Dr. Brown is a graduate of the College of William & Mary with degrees in psychology, anthropology, and a minor in education.

This session of the Student Success Series will explore blind spots and implicit biases, hidden forces that shape our opinions, attitudes, perceptions, and decisions about others. This interactive, dynamic, and uplifting presentation will address the shortcuts that create our mental blind spots. The operational definition of “equity” will include naming of barriers and identifying source narratives while dismantling them. Confirmation biases and microaggressions will also be discussed. By attending this presentation, you will gain skills to help contribute to the development and/or maintenance of safe spaces of respect, acceptance, and support for ALL. Dr. Brown will also provide motivation and knowledge to help you remain focused, motivated, and inspired.
