"In the past couple of months the world has really changed," said James, whose appointment was announced in February."We have focus on racial justice. We have the COVID pandemic, so really the impact that those events have had on higher education means that my first set of initiatives will have to be how do we bring together an incredibly successful student experience for our students when they come back in the fall.
James said she plans to focus at Wharton on making sure positions are filled with the"right kind of talent," adding that she believes"talent exists everywhere and comes in all colors and packages." Dr. Erika H. James has been named dean of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, effective July 1, 2020.
"We often say that there's not a pipeline of diverse talent. Well, there's not a pipeline if you look in a very narrow set of places for that talent," she said."One of the things companies can do differently is broaden where they go to identify where there's possibly really exceptional talent that might be untapped."
why put colour or race in front of everything ? ..we dont see first 'White ' or 'Chinese ' women or 'Latino ' just put women ..Stop identity politics .

Oh my. I wonder if Trump is going to continue bragging that he is a Wharton grad? I hope he stops. I don't care how much that degree cost his father.
Congratulations Dr Erica James!
What about a Latina! There are tons of educated Hispanic woman. Let's raise the bar for Hispanics across America!!
'Bet on yourself' . . . but if you are white and male, don't even bother gambling.
How did trump manage to graduate from this place? Daddy make a huge contribution?
Maybe now we can get Trump’s transcript. I am sure there are asterisks next to every grade.
Onward and Upward! Congratulations Dr. Erika James!

Beauty and brains classic
Is that the punchline!?
Regardless of color, she's absolutely beautiful. And color should not be an issue. I hope she wasn't chosen because of her color, and because she was a woma. I hope she was chosen because she was the BEST candidate for the job! And not because of a political agenda.
It's a shame some don't recognize the pipeline of successful black Americans. Each year's thousands become instant millamares over night at 21 in sport , business , science physics biology etc
A good educational video for you 🔥📚🔥 👇🏽Share 👇🏽
🔥'There is no worse blind person who does not want to see, or a worse deaf person who does not want to hear'🔥
Ill really be impressed when I stop seeing a Black person that's not the first Black this or that...
Congratulations!!
The American dream
Unfortunately under the current political climate she'll probably just be seen as the latest diversity hire.
This is how you show the world what Blacks are capable of!! Awesome job!!! Hats off!
It shouldn’t have anything to do with color. I’m sure she got the job because she was qualified.
Didn’t earn it.
