Tenisha Tevis is an Assistant Professor in the Adult and Higher Education program at Oregon State University. Empirically, drawing on her former administrative experience, she has improved the practice of higher education administrators, re-conceptualized theoretical frameworks, and given voice to underserved and marginalized populations. Focused on the transition to college process for underserved groups, she explores the equity, inclusion, and retention efforts of higher education administrators.
Tenisha's research focuses on the systemic tensions students have to overcome when transitioning to college, and the confluence of leadership and identity.
