Welcome to ‘Episode Five’ of The Baylor Line’s flagship podcast, The Green Room.
In this episode, host Jonathon Platt is joined by Dr. Coretta Pittman, associate professor of English and Baylor’s new vice provost for community engagement. With warmth, clarity, and depth, Dr. Pittman discusses what it means to foster a university community that reflects the full richness of its members’ backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs.
Three pillars have shaped Dr. Pittman’s career both in and outside of academia: language, leadership, and legacy. Drawing from her academic foundation in English and her leadership at Baylor, Dr. Pittman speaks to the power of words, the responsibility of institutions, and the deep ongoing work of building a culture of belonging.
What’s next for Coretta Pittman in her role as vice provost for community engagement? You’ll have to listen to find out!
