NSU Alumni Spotlight: CAHSS Alum Named to Editorial Board of INSIGHT Into Diversity
Lisa McBride, Ph.D.
Lisa McBride, Ph.D., doctoral graduate of NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), has been named to the editorial board of INSIGHT Into Diversity. INSIGHT Into Diversity connects potential employees with institutions and businesses seeking a workforce more reflective of the community. It is the oldest and largest diversity magazine and website in higher education today.
McBride is currently the inaugural Chief Diversity Officer at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) in Philadelphia. There she has implemented the President’s Diversity Council, developed a Diversity Leadership Speaker Series, and created and developed the Cultural Competency Training/Curriculum. Prior to coming to PCOM, McBride was the Special Assistant to the President for Equity, Justice, and Diversity and University Ombudsperson at California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U). Before that McBride held several positions in the Florida State University system and had an extensive career in law enforcement. In addition to her doctoral degree, McBride holds an M.S. and B.S. in Criminology from Indiana State University.
Of her time at NSU, McBride said: “I attribute my success to the education that I received in the Ph.D. program in Conflict Analysis & Resolution at Nova Southeastern University (NSU). The skills and techniques of practice I learned at NSU as it relates to policy and program development, and cultural analysis have been critical to my professional development as a Senior Administrator in higher education. I will be forever grateful to the NSU faculty most importantly for always emphasizing the importance of having the ideals and values of courage, truth, compassion, dignity, humility and service.”
