About CMEA

The Center for Multicultural Equity and Access (CMEA) enhances the education of students who have historically experienced barriers to access and success in higher education because of race, ethnicity, national origin, socioeconomic status, and other marginalized identities. The vast social and economic inequalities disrupted a sense of justice as “we walk with the excluded” towards a “hope-filled future.”

We actively promote access to educational attainment for diverse populations through intentional programming, services, and opportunities. 

Meet Our Director

As a student at Georgetown, Dr. Brown-McKenzie (She/Her/Hers) was deeply engaged in several service programs such as CMEA’s Peer Mentors and programs within the Center for Social Justice. A sociology major, she went on to earn a Master in Social Work degree at Columbia University before returning to the Hilltop to work in CMEA’s Pre-College Programs. In addition to focusing on the access and success of students within secondary, post secondary and graduate education, her goal is to also foster their growth as responsible world citizens.
