Dr. Dawkins is the Former President of Bennett College. She has more than 33 years of leadership experience in higher education, three as a provost and served four campuses as a professor and held numerous esteemed and successful leadership roles at HBCUs. Dr. Dawkins has hit the ground running. She began working with the Institute on July 15, 2020. In a very short period of time Dr. Dawkins has accomplished great things. Please See Dr. Dawkins Bio below: PHYLLIS WORTHY DAWKINS, Ph.D. Dr. Phyllis Worthy Dawkins, a woman with extensive higher education experience who is adept at the inner workings of HBCUs. Recently she joined the Goddard College Board of Trustees. On December 11, 2019, she was appointed as a National Senior Fellow to the Council Exchange Board of Trade to ignite the HBCU ecosystem. In this role, she is serving as the National Executive Director of Higher Education. In 2018, Dawkins was appointed by President Donald J. Trump to serve on the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This prestigious appointment means that she has a seat at the table when the President and the Secretary of Education are advised on all matters pertaining to strengthening the educational capacity of HBCUs. Currently she is a higher education consultant (EduProfs) to numerous colleges/universities and organizations. She was the Eighteenth President of Bennett College for nearly three years (including Interim year). She arrived at Bennett in November 2015 as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Bennett College went through a dramatic transformation under Dawkins’ leadership. Enrollment and retention increased yearly. Moreover, the College gained national prominence because of Dawkins’ effort to lead a successful bipartisan legislative effort. The legislation that Dawkins’ spearheaded with UNCF enabled Bennett and other Historically Black Colleges and Universities to get deferments on payments to the HBCU Capital Finance Loan Program, which over a six-year period will result in $8.9 million that Bennett will use to stabilize financially, invest in capital improvements and continue growing enrollment. Fundraising increased. Dawkins and her leadership team made a concerted effort to increase fundraising at Bennett College by utilizing crowdfunding during the #StandWithBennett Campaign to raise over $10 million (including $1 million in loan forgiveness) for FY 2019 compared to over 4 million in FY18. By working closely with Bennett Alumnae, a key institutional stakeholder, in FY 2019 Bennett Alumnae donated $3 million to the College. During the campaign, Bennett reached out to a wide range of individuals, organizations (churches, Greeks, etc.), foundations and corporations, resulting in a range of $1-$1M in gifts. During her 3 years at BC, the institution raised more than 18 million dollars from organizations, foundations, corporations, churches, alums and friends. Before assuming Bennett’s top administrative post, Dawkins worked as the Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs at Cheyney University in Cheyney, Pennsylvania and at Dillard University in New Orleans, as Department Chair, Dean, and Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs at her alma mater, Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina and as an Instructor of Physical Education at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, SC. She assumed critical responsibilities at those institutions to ensure successful reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) for JCSU and Dillard, and by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) for Cheyney. Dr. Dawkins is/was a member of the Executive Committee of North Carolina Independent Colleges & Universities (NCICU), National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) Committee on Student Aid , the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce’s Board, Bennett College Foster Care Advisory Board, HBCURCC Research Advisory Board, Board of Directors of the National Association of Schools and Colleges of the United Methodist (NASCUM) Church; Bennett College Career Corporate Advisory Board, Advisory Board for Preparing Critical Faculty for the Future (PCFF) in STEM, Melton Foundation Board on Global Citizenship, Southern Learning Communities Advisory Board, and the N.C. State Evaluation Committee on Teacher Education. In terms of professional development, Dawkins is a Co-founder of the HBCU Faculty Development Network, a former past President of the Professional and Organizational Development Network (POD), a Liaison Officer for the NYU Faculty Resource Network, a Resource Faculty at the Washington Center’s National Summer Institutes on Learning Communities and on Teaching and Learning, and member of the Advisory Council and Senior Consultant for the TLT (Teaching & Learning with Technology) Group and the International Council for Educational Developers (ICED). Dawkins is also an accomplished writer whose academic research has been published in various journals and periodicals. In addition, she has written or co-wrote private, state, and federal grants totaling more than $30 million. She has consulted/conducted presentations/workshops at numerous institutions (80/101 HBCUs), organizations, professional meetings, summer institutes, conferences, etc. on fundraising, grant writing, assessment, academic program evaluation, accreditation, learning communities, faculty development, etc. Among her numerous awards, in 2019 Dawkins was presented with The Trailblazer Award by the Higher Leadership Foundation (HELF), the Village Legacy Award by AFRAM, Leading Lady Award presented by Student Leadership and Engagement at Johnson C.

North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Prior to the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, the majority of African Americans in the United States were enslaved persons living in the southern states. Education for African Americans was sparse, especially in the South with laws such as North Carolina's that prohibited teaching enslaved persons to read and write. It was a rare occurrence for an African American to be literate. While there were a few schools dedicated to African American education in the North prior to the Civil War, the first college available to African Americans in the South was Shaw University, which opened its doors in 1865. A number of institutions dedicated specifically for the education of African Americans were founded in the era immediately following the Civil War and others followed when segregation limited equal access to education. These schools are often known as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or "HBCUs". North Carolina has twelve historically black colleges and universities, including the oldest in the South, Raleigh's Shaw University, founded in 1865, and North Carolina's newest HBCU, North Carolina Central University, founded in 1910 in Durham. Ten of these schools continue to operate today.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, AND SPELMAN COLLEGE PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FOR LIMITED SPRING IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND CAMPUS RESIDENCY ATLANTA, Georgia, November 16, 2020– To allow students and their families the necessary time to prepare for the 2021 spring semester, the presidents of Clark Atlanta University (CAU), Morehouse College, and Spelman College today shared preliminary plans to begin spring courses on February 1, 2021. Reflecting awareness and anticipation of a fall spike in national COVID-19 cases, the plans include an adjusted academic calendar and a limited return to in-person instruction and campus residency for specific groups of students. These plans are subject to change based on public health information which is monitored on an ongoing basis. Each of the institutions will identify and invite cohorts of students to live and/or learn on campus while other students will continue virtual learning. Classes for the 2021 spring semester begin on Monday, February 1, 2021 for all CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman students. AUCC member institution Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), which follows a separate academic calendar, will continue in-person and hybrid instruction and has enhanced health and safety protocols. The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) will provide both in-person and virtual services for AUC students. After a fall semester of virtual instruction, each institution would ideally prefer to return all students to campus. However, by reducing the number of students on their campuses, CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman are best able to implement rigorous health and safety protocols designed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
