I would suggest that you also take some courses in higher education administration to provide a historical context, a theoretical framework, and an overview of the role of dean.

Black ivy mysteries – mystery books about black scholars in white institutions

WASHINGTON, D.C. It’s not uncommon for fiction writers to create heroes and heroines whose personalities and life circumstances stem from the writer’s own experiences. So it should come as no surprise that when Pamela Thomas-Graham decided to write a mystery novel, she created an African American heroine who teaches at the same university where she spent her undergraduate and graduate years.
