Latricia Brand has served as Associate Dean of Students and Director of Multicultural Affairs since the summer of 2009.  Latricia joined Lewis & Clark after three years of leadership for programs and services designed for underrepresentedstudents, including developing and teaching student transitions courses for freshman at the University of Arizona.  Prior to joining the University of Arizona, Latricia spent six years at Rutgers University, where she served as a Research Coordinator for the Center for Early Education and Research, a Learning Specialist for the Rutgers Learning Center, and as Associate Director for Student Support Services/TRIO Programs for the Academic Foundations Center.  Latricia earned her Ed.M. at Rutgers University and her B.A. in psychology at Washington University in St. Louis.  She solidified her interest in education, research, and practice directed toward the success of underserved student populations. 

Latricia's current work in the Office of Multicultural Affairs includes assisting the Lewis & Clark community in advancing our values of diversity and supporting everyone’s personal contribution to a meaningful Lewis & Clark experience. She is excited to have the unique opportunity to support the creative programs such as LINCS, Speaking of Diversity, and heritage month celebrations that reside within Multicultural Affairs.  She also works closely with the community to develop unique learning opportunities for students that bridge the academic and student life experience.

Latricia's professional and research interests include diversity and excellence in higher education, student transitions, and the role of peer mentoring in first generation student achievement.  Her personal interests include music, popular culture, U.S. politics, cooking, and social media.  Tricia lives with her husband, Paul Brand, and two very special cats in Portland, OR.
