Dejah S. Carter, M.Ed
About
Hello there! My name is Dejah and I happily serve as the Assistant Director of the WCC! As part of the WCC professional staff, I help support our amazing student staff in their programmatic areas, manage the WCC Library, and assist with day to day operations of the center. I truly feel blessed to have the opportunity to work in such an incredible space with such intelligent, impactful, dedicated, and wonderful students and staff! My passion for supporting the academic and professional growth as well as the identity development and social justice work of students began during my time as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia where I received my B.A. in History and African American and African Studies in 2014 and my M.Ed in Higher Education and Student Affairs in 2018. My experiences and struggles as a Black and low income transfer student inspired me to pursue a career in Student Affairs where I am able to help students navigate their own unique college experience through a social justice lens. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to old music, watching history documentaries, reading, and exploring the Bay Area.
