Biography

Tiffany Steele joined the department of educational leadership in 2022.

She also maintains a secondary interest broadly focusing on college access and retention of minoritized students and staff members at predominantly white institutions.

Steele has published in several journals, including the College Student Affairs Journal, College Student Affairs Leadership, AERA Open, and Oracle: The Research Journal of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors. Most notably, she served as an associate editor for the second edition of Intersectionality and Higher Education
