Honoring a Legacy: Fielding’s Longest-Serving President, Dr. Katrina S. Rogers, Retires

2025-02-04T08:10:46-08:00

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to 2025! I begin this year’s Letter from the President with two quotes for collective consideration. Maslow’s remark calls to mind a person with a foot poised over a path, about to decide: forward or back, into change or not? Mandela’s statement reminds us that the vehicle of change is education. In a similar spirit of reflection, I took time at the end of December to write about the passing of the year just concluded and the possible road ahead for Fielding. I often think of the saying attributed to Buddha that the past [...]

Statement from the President – Veterans Day, 2024

2024-11-07T08:42:56-08:00

Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D. Statement from the President: Veterans Day 2024 As some of you know, my late husband was a military veteran. Although he lived through the Vietnam War and subsequent other “actions,” his was a life marked by trauma. He died of his exposure to the chemical Agent Orange decades after his service. I have reflected on his experience in previous Veterans Day events at Fielding. What I’ve been thinking about lately is what it was like to be a military spouse. As a spouse, I was witness to his sorrow and pain, but I also [...]

Dr. Orlando Taylor: A Person to Emulate

2024-03-05T09:43:29-08:00

Orlando L. Taylor, Ph.D. By: Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D. The first time I stepped into the offices of Diverse Issues In Higher Education, I was with Dr. Orlando Taylor. He took me there to meet his long-time colleague and co-founder of the magazine, Dr. Bill Cox. As I listened to their wide-ranging conversation, about people they knew, or had known, and projects they worked on together, I was taken by the longevity of their connection to each other. They shared a common spirit in their separate spheres: to advance people of color through mentoring and teaching. In our [...]

Statement from the President – Veterans Day

2025-02-25T15:38:56-08:00

President Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D. This Veterans Day marks the first time I will commemorate our veterans without the presence of my husband, Ret. Army Maj. Bill Cherry. My beloved husband and dedicated veteran passed away peacefully on Feb. 12, 2023 (read Bill’s obituary here).   Bill was not just a veteran; he was a beacon of hope for many. As a young man from a small town in Arizona, he saw the Army as his duty and a chance at a better future. Enlisting in 1961, he viewed it as the right thing to do and believed [...]
