In January 2021, Dr. Thomas Gibson became the 15th Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and its first ever Chancellor of Color. Chancellor Gibson has three primary focus areas in leading UWSP: enhancing academic excellence; expanding diversity, equity and inclusive excellence; and increasing enrollment and growth. During this week’s episode of Black Oxygen, Chancellor Gibson discusses his journey to Wisconsin, observations of inclusion in Central Wisconsin, and the power of higher education. Of his own education he says, “my education gave me the confidence to dare.” His vision of the role of higher education is all about giving students the space and opportunity to dare and dream the impossible.
