BIBLIOGRAPHY:

Dr. Ria R. Pinkston-McKee joined ABWHE in 1990 and
have held the positions of treasurer and programs
committee chair of the Chicago Chapter.  In addition, I had
the pleasure of serving on the ABWHE national board as
Membership and Credentials Committee Chair.  The
mission of ABWHE has always held a special place in my
heart. 

Professionally and personally I am committed “to lift as we
climb,” providing opportunities for Black women and youth
to grow and develop in higher education.  My professional
work experience includes positions in both Academic and
Student Affairs, ranging from Assistant Dean of Academic
Development to Director of TRIO/Student Support
Services.  I am currently the Director of TRIO/Educational
Opportunity Outreach Programs at the University of Illinois
at Chicago.  Through these positions I have had the
opportunity to give back to our youth and encourage their
growth and development, as well impact the professional
development of Black Women in Higher Education.
