Dr. Qiana Cutts joins national program aimed at helping underrepresented STEM faculty ascend to leadership roles
Qiana Cutts, a Mississippi State assistant professor in the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Foundations, is one of only 27 faculty and administrators nationwide named a fellow in the IAspire Leadership Academy.
The program works to help mid-career STEM faculty from underrepresented backgrounds ascend to college and university leadership roles and is part of the Aspire Alliance’s Institutional Change Initiative, led by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and the University of Georgia. The participants were selected through a competitive, holistic review of their applications.
“Leadership development is an essential element of healthy institutions,” said MSU Provost and Executive Vice President David Shaw. “Dr. Cutts is an excellent example of leaders who will be important for the future of Mississippi State University.”
