A Higher Calling Seeing students succeed is what it’s all about for new Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lowell Davis. by Venita Jenkins
When Vice Chancellor Lowell Davis charted his course for his future career in higher education, he did so with the mission to give back and make a difference in students’ lives. It was a seed that his family of educators planted. “I had an opportunity to watch my mother, who was a K-12 educator for years, commit her life to help students,” said Davis. “She would not only give her time, but she would give her resources to ensure that anyone she came in contact with would be successful.” Davis followed in his mother’s footsteps. He recalled aiding students who battled substance use and students who aged out of the foster care system. These students defied all odds by obtaining their degrees.
“This institution is one that is on the move and has been nationally recognized for its commitment to student success,” said Davis. “To be a part of an institution that is moving forward is inspiring and fulfilling.”
