Trailblazers: Women Making History
In celebration of Women's History Month, we talk with Dr. Menah Pratt-Clarke, Vice President for Strategic Affairs and Diversity. This year we are featuring trailblazers who have led movements, broke down barriers, and began dismantling systems of oppression. Dr. Pratt-Clarke is not only a trailblazer with her contributions to academia but also in her current role at Virginia Tech leading efforts around diversity equity and inclusion.

Join us as she talks about her experiences of being a trailblazer and what it is like to be the "lonely only", the importance of remembering your "why", and more. 

Listen here.
