Tamika Davis, Ed.D., interim vice president of enrollment management for CT State Community College (CT State), was honored at the Ninth Annual 100 Women of Color Gala and Awards on September 13 at the Bushnell Performing Arts Center.
The gala honors 100 influential women of color from Connecticut and western Massachusetts, celebrating their achievements in business, education, entrepreneurship, entertainment, and government, as well as their positive impact on their communities.
“Receiving this award is not just a personal honor, but a testament to the collective effort of our community in advancing educational access and fostering an environment of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said Davis. “I am deeply grateful for this recognition, but the true reward comes from seeing our students and young professionals thrive and succeed.”
Davis has over 20 years of leadership experience in higher education, professional services, and community-based nonprofit organizations, the majority of which has been at Connecticut colleges and universities. She holds a doctoral degree in educational leadership from the University of Hartford, and resides in Woodbridge.
Sponsored by Eleven28 Entertainment, the gala’s goal is to support programs and scholarships for the advancement of young women of color. Event proceeds will also help promote healthy living for women and to support organizations that need funding for cervical and breast cancer research.
