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 [...]

Statement From the President: Transforming the Climate Conversation on Earth Day

2024-04-22T06:49:52-07:00

President Katrina S. Rogers, Ph.D. On this 54th Anniversary of America's first Earth Day celebration, it is a time to reflect on how we moved from a consensus on the urgent need for environmental protection across the country to woefully underestimating the need for action about climate change. A recent study shows that most Europeans and Americans acknowledge that the climate is warming and that a warming planet will likely hurt humankind. At the same time, there is a distortion of the scientific consensus about the data, which leads to a tendency among the public to underestimate the [...]

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 [...]

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.
