Dr. Cassandra Manuelito-Kerkvliet
Diversity at the top
Top Contributors
to the Asian Community
“It’s been a great fit for me here at Antioch. I
think part of what makes it easy for me is my counseling background; I’m
very willing to listen and be collaborative. I think it’s also easier
for me to put these issues out there because of my background, to say, let’s
form and let’s storm and let’s do what we have to do to take
diversity seriously.
I have to be
really careful in this position that I don’t only elevate
Native American issues. Because I’m about issues, not only for people
of color, but also for the silent minority, the diversities we don’t
see. Maybe there’s a disability we don’t recognize but they’re
a group of people that are disenfranchised.” — Dr. Cassandra
Manuelito-Kerkvliet, President of Antioch University Seattle.
