Lezah Brown's research focuses on minority health issues
Lezah Brown’s inspiration for a career in the environmental health field came at an early age. “My grandmother was a public health nurse in Chicago,” said Brown, an assistant professor in the Department of Health Sciences. “When I was a girl I used to go with her to the public health clinic where she worked.”
Tiffany Tiberi is counselor, advocate, educator for LGBT issues
Tiffany Tiberi is first and foremost a counselor to students looking for one-on-one guidance. But since coming to Illinois State University a year and a half ago, she has also created a space for herself as an advocate and educator. As a psychologist in Student Counseling Services, Tiberi’s area of expertise and interest is in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
