Commencement 2023: Distinguished Faculty Lecturer, Kristi Green

 

Kristi M. Green, PhD 

Associate Professor and Management Department Coordinator, Gail Miller School of Business

Distinguished Faculty Lecturer, 2024

For associate professor Kristi Green, SLCC is a beacon of diversity. She sees the college’s mission of inclusivity realized daily through its support of marginalized communities seeking higher education. 

Even so, Kristi notes there are still few Latinas in higher education leadership positions. This brought her to wonder how community colleges are supporting Latinas and to conduct her own research on the issue.

As SLCC’s Distinguished Faculty Lecturer for 2024, Kristi’s lecture will focus on the experiences and stories of Latinas working in higher education and how colleges can foster more inclusive environments. “These narratives are considered ‘Counterstories.’ Counterstorytelling is a method of recounting the experiences of the racially and socially marginalized,” Kristi says. 

Her lecture will also highlight the progress SLCC has made toward equity, as well as opportunities for improvement. “We will workshop and discuss our own origin stories, what constitutes our identities, what supports we need to advance our own careers, identify where we will no longer compromise, and what practices we might adopt to better support inclusivity.” 

In her eight years at SLCC, Kristi has taught courses on Entrepreneurship, Small Business and Management, among others. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Utah, a Master of Business Administration from Independence University, and a PhD in Higher Education Administration from the University of Wyoming. In addition to her role as an associate professor, she serves as SLCC’s Management Department coordinator in the Gail Miller School of Business.


The DISTINGUISHED FACULTY LECTURER is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring of 2024.
