Kendra Mitchell is the director of the Florida A&M University Writing Resource Center (FAMU WRC) and associate professor of English and modern languages. She has taught composition, literature, andhistorical linguistics in ways that undergird the genius of FAMU and other HBCU student writers. Serving as the WRC director is a full-circle moment as she worked in the WRC as an undergraduate and paraprofessional, completed her dissertation research on the language interactions of the students in the WRC, and continues to move the needle forward in research on writing and communication for her staff, students, and campus partners.
