Tiffany Speaks Heads the Center for Diversity and Inclusion at American University

Tiffany Speaks is the senior director of the newly created Center for Diversity and Inclusion at American University in Washington, D.C. Speaks joined the American University staff in 2007 and also serves as an adjunct professor in the School of Education, Teaching, and Health and the School of Public Affairs.
