Keynote Speaker
Shannon Brady, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Wake Forest University

In particular, Shannon focuses on how institutional practices and messages-especially how education can contribute to, or mitigate, inequality. She is one of the leading experts on students' psychological experiences of academic probation. Prior to graduate school, she was an elementary and middle school teacher on the Oglala Lakota Reservation in South Dakota.
