A Message From Candace Moore

Candace M. Moore, Ph. D., (she/her)—Associate Clinical Professor in the Higher Education, Student Affairs, International Education Policy (HESI) program and Director of the Center for the Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education (CDIHE) both within the Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education at the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park. She earned her Ph. D. in Counseling and Student Personnel Services from the University of Georgia, Athens, GA. Dr. Moore’s scholarship centers equity, inclusion, decolonizing practices, and fostering international collaboration in higher education. Her research interests include understanding Black and LGBTQ student identities, contingent faculty development in higher education, and universities and exploring culturally conscious pedagogy and practice in higher education. Her international endeavors have resulted in ongoing international partnerships in West Africa. With colleagues from the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in Ghana and Washington University, St. Louis, MO, Dr. Moore co-developed both a hybrid international cross-cultural graduate course on student affairs practice and a short-term study abroad program that explores student affairs practices in higher education in Ghana. Both courses expand beyond the ideals of social justice education in the West. The study abroad program was recognized with the American College Personnel Association’s Outstanding International Education Initiative Award in 2019. Dr. Moore is also the inaugural director of CDIHE, a research and consultation center providing expertise to universities on issues related to diversity, inclusion and social justice in higher education. She has presented and published her research on the local, state, regional, national and international levels. Her scholarship and practice have been recognized with awards and honors.
