Making Lightbulb Moments

Justin Brown went from a diverse home community to a university setting in which the other Black faces were few. As a sophomore, he created a diversity awareness program on his campus, and soon, he was presenting it at other schools, including IUP. Now, more than a thousand trainings on 40 national stages later, Brown, a 2013 graduate of IUP’s Student Affairs in Higher Education master’s program, discusses his journey in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
