Driving inclusion and excellence
Since arriving at the University of Miami in 1988, Marvin P. Dawkins, professor of sociology, has made a long-lasting impact on the University community in the classroom, on faculty matters, and in the athletics space.
Through various roles, which include director of the Africana Studies program and director of graduate studies in sociology, he has had opportunities to mentor students from myriad disciplines, working with underrepresented minority students and championing inclusion.
Dawkins was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who attended a historically Black college, had majored in sociology, and was assassinated in 1968 during Dawkins’ sophomore year at Edward Waters College (a historically Black college).
