LaVona Spencer

is honored with a Medium Paver from A/AAFSA.

The African/African American Faculty/Staff Association is an organization that is interested in creating and maintaining an environment conducive to cultural diversity. The purpose of the organization is to promote awareness of issues and concerns of the African/African American community to assure that the African American community has the opportunity to make the fullest contribution to the mission of the university; to encourage the professional development of the African/African American faculty/staff; to educate the university community about all forms of racism, discrimination and multicultural issues; and to assist WSU in recruiting and retaining African/African American faculty, staff and students.
We have chosen to recognize three women in our campus community that exemplify the purpose of our organization. These women are Deltha Q. Colvin, Bernice Hutcherson, and LaVona Spencer.
