Recent Case Study
McGill University
Challenge: Despite existing efforts, the institution recognized the need for more tangible action to address systemic anti-Black racism and historical ties to the transatlantic slave trade.
Solution: Leveraging her expertise, Terri collaborated with the university’s administration to implement the Action Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism (ABR). As an advisor to the provost, Terri worked closely with departments and deans to increase Black faculty representation and create a more inclusive environment.
Impact: McGill’s Black faculty numbers grew from 12 to nearly 50, with strong support from both administration and faculty. Key successes included institutionalizing diversity efforts, ensuring accountability, and mentoring new hires.
