Faculty Profile

Carrol Waymon
Retired Faculty

A lifelong social, political, and education advocate, I taught psychology, sociology and anthropology at San Diego Mesa College for 26 years before retiring. Prior to my tenure there, I served as Executive Director for the Citizens Interracial Committee (CIC) in San Diego. Under my leadership, this agency made it possible for people of color to live anywhere in San Diego county, attend non-segregated schools of their choice and become school principals and superintendents. Upon closure of the CIC, I established the Black Studies Department at San Diego State University where I also taught for eight years.

FACCC is important to me for several reasons. FACCC reflects and articulates my personal philosophy about the importance of having dedicated and well-prepared professional educators in charge of our educational institutions; FACCC keeps me current with the “politics” necessary to manage these important institutions; and, FACCC has exceptionally qualified leaders and staff. For these compelling reasons, I’ve spent so many years of my professional life as a committed member of the organization. Simply put, FACCC connects me with education and educators.
