Welcoming JR Scruggs today on his first day as coordinator of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion @DanvilleAreaCC is Gina Davis. Along with supporting Adult Education and the TRIO programs, Mr. Scruggs will provide guidance for the "Toolbox" cohort of African-American male students.
Chief Diversity Officer Carla Boyd (doing a selfie) brought the "Toolbox" crew @DanvilleAreaCC out on the town for a movie and a nosh. The movie was "Just Mercy," the story of civil-rights attorney Bryan Stevenson. For the post-flick dinner, the group met Danville Mayor Williams.
