This Pride Month, we celebrate faculty who help students see themselves reflected in higher education.
Through her research, mentorship, and lived experience, Dr. Sydney Nelloms, assistant professor of sociology, helps students understand that who they are is a strength, not a limitation.
โI wanted to contribute to positive rhetoric,โ Nelloms says. โTo show that being a Black queer person is not a detriment. It is an attribute.โ #LeadingTheWay
