Karen D. Boyd, Ph.D is a Professor of Practice in higher education administration, college student personnel and the undergraduate leadership studies with the University of Tennessee's Educational Leadership and Policy Studies Department and the interim Executive Director of the Association for Student Conduct Administration (ASCA). Her 30+ year career (predominantly spent in Housing, Student Conduct, Leadership Education and most recently as faculty) demonstrates a commitment to fostering learning and engagement in increasingly diverse and complex classroom, administrative, and associational settings. Her primary areas of inquiry explore how to most effectively educate for personally and socially responsible leadership and civic engagement. Most notable is her work collecting and applying the Dixon v. Alabama (1961) participants’ history of college-related leadership for social change. Across her career, scholarship, and leadership—including ACPA’s Commission XV Directorate, circuit and ASCA’s 10th Anniversary conference chair, past president, and Gehring Academy Director— she has been honored to receive ACPA's Commission XV's Teele Award; ASCA's New Professional of the Year, Circuit of the Year, Gehring, and Dixon-McFadden Awards; NASPA Region 3's Bob E. Leach Award for Outstanding Service to Students; and numerous campus recognitions.
