Office of the Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Brandon Edward Dunbar
Hello, fellow scholars, peers, and the greater UCR community!
My name is Brandon Edward Dunbar (he/him/his), a fourth-year Political Science Major with a Minor in Black Study & Business Administration, focusing in HR and Organizational Behavior with an overall concentration in DEI; and I’m excited to serve our campus and its residents as the Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
My lived experience as a gay, body-positive, multi-racial man has led me to various experiences and a robust understanding of the urgency to act as a voice for all communities, specifically focusing on those most-targeted, especially in today's climate.
I have previous work experience in DEI at The Disneyland Resort, Cypress College, and other organizations.
My goal is always to leave things better than I found them and work towards a more equitable future!
If you'd like to know more, or have any concerns (and/or constructive feedback for me or my office personally), feel free to stop by during my office hours, connect with me on LinkedIn, or send me a direct email at bdunb001@ucr.edu.
I look forward to all that we're going to achieve. :)
