The Whitlowe R. Green College of Education is pleased to announce that Dr. Pamela Barber-Freeman has been selected as the President Elect of the Research Association of Minority Professors (RAMP).

RAMP is an educational and scientific research organization founded in 1975 by Dr. Frank T. Hawkins from the Department of Mathematics at Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas.  RAMP was organized with four major objectives:

 

 

  1. To provide an opportunity for minority professors to engage in culturally relevant research projects,
  2. To provide minority scholars with an opportunity to present research that relates to the Black experience,
  3. To provide publication of research by minorities and other scholars who address some phase of the Black experience, and
  4. To encourage students to become involved in systematic research activities.

RAMP members include professionals in virtually all areas of the nation’s college and university system, from academic affairs, administrative deans, teaching faculty, department chairs, program directors and personnel from admissions, residential life, public safety, alumni affairs and athletics to student leaders and representatives from state and national institutes, agencies, commissions, associations, and foundations. Together, these researchers and advocates not only provide a range of policy, planning, programmatic, curricular/pedagogic, assessment/evaluation, and training and/or theoretical perspectives from around the country, but also highlight exemplary working models and approaches capable of being adapted or replicated in other institutional settings.
