An Educational Journey to Deanship: A Memoir is the story of Dr. Terence Hicks’s journey through the education system and into professional success—a journey facilitated by effective mentors and role models. Hicks, a Black man, is the son of parents who were products of the racially segregated school system of Prince Edward County, Virginia, where government officials chose to close public schools for 5 years rather than address educational inequities. He describes a pathway to educational and professional success that is not highlighted as frequently as it should be. In reflecting on the influences that shaped his journey to two academic deanships, Hicks underscores the importance of role modeling and mentorship and offers lessons and guidance for others aspiring to become academic administrators.
