Dr. Sharon Whittaker-Davis, Vice President for Student Affairs at Stillman College, was a featured panelist at the Women of Color Empowerment Forum during the 60th Annual National Association of Student Affairs Professionals (NASAP) Conference on February 20th in Savannah, Georgia. The professional development organization aims to support student affairs personnel and address trends and solutions related to student issues. Highlights of the forum included empowering conversation on how participants could advance professionally.
Leaders discussed their professional journeys, career choices, strategies for success, mentorship, health/wellness, family and balancing it all. The forum featured a panel of dynamic women who have blazed a trail for women and Student Affairs professionals. Whittaker-Davis, a past president of the organization, was elected Chaplain at a meeting during the conference.
“It was an honor and privilege to serve as a panelist,” Whittaker-Davis stated. “I believe it is my moral and social responsibility to share my professional journey with other young professionals, especially women, looking to advance in higher education. To receive feedback that it was well received by women in attendance was most gratifying.”
