Reena Viswanath
Assistant ProfessorDr. Reena Patel-Viswanath is deeply passionate about helping organizations promote equity through evidence-based, data-driven strategy. She is particularly interested in examining how institutions can create a more supportive campus climate by considering the intersectional identities of a college student, particularly the first-generation college student identity, utilizing asset-based pedagogy. She focuses on institutional outcomes, such as retention and graduation rates, and identity development. Considering factors that contribute to the imposter phenomenon, a sense of psychological safety and belonging is critical to her work. As a scholar practitioner, she deeply invested in disseminating research that is accessible and comprehensible to inform policy and practice. She is equally invested in program evaluation and development and organizational leadership.
