Terri Travis-Davis, AM ’99

Terri Travis-Davis is a silent yet powerful leader within the Crown Family School’s alumni community. Her peers recognize her for being instrumental in identifying Crown Family School alumni who had not been engaged with the graduate school and creating in them a stronger affinity for the University. Travis-Davis served on the Crown Family School Alumni Association Board from 2007 to 2011, and since 2007 she has served on the Crown Family School African American Alumni Committee. Her commitment to Crown Family School goes beyond just maintaining a strong affinity among alumni; she also ensures that students feel supported as they transition into postgraduate life. She established the first African American Alumni Award to ensure that students are able to enter their professions in social work with a little less debt.
