Dr. Ronald Rochon holds a bachelor's degree in animal
science from Tuskegee University and a master's and doctoral degrees
from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is the
co-founder of the University of Wisconsin — La Crosse Research
Center for Cultural Diversity and Community Renewal. The center has
obtained nearly $3 million of funding in three years to support
research work that includes investigation of current educational
curriculum, controversy regarding multiculturalism and the role of
public schools in addressing questions of ethnic identity.
Rochon, dean of the School of Education and associate vice
president for teacher education at Buffalo State College, is
nationally renowned for his work on issues of diversity in teaching
and learning. He has worked intensively with students and teachers
in K-12 settings. Rochon is a dynamic and engaging speaker. Rochon’s
agenda is grounded within a historical context that examines trends
among African Americans with respect to their feelings, attitudes,
and perspectives toward ethnic and national identity. His primary
focus is on assisting students in examining and deepening their
understanding of the ways in which socio-cultural factors influence
American educational thought, theory, and practice.
