Friday, May 6th, 2022
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) proudly announces the appointment of Lace Walker as the university’s new director of inclusion. Walker, a Savannah native, is a SCAD alumnus, with an M.A. in creative business leadership and a B.F.A. in sound design. She graduated from Alfred E. Beach High School in Savannah.
Walker will work closely with SCAD students, faculty, and staff at all SCAD locations to ensure a culture where all members of the university community feel welcomed, valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
"SCAD is my family, my home," Walker says. "It is my intention to ensure every member of our SCAD community feels seen, celebrated, and cared for. It is important that we continue to engage in a culture that accepts all people with respect and open arms."
Walker is being promoted from within the university. Prior to her new role, she has an 11-year tenure at SCAD, working at the university’s locations in Savannah, Atlanta, and Lacoste, France as a student success advisor and admission records specialist, developing authentic relationships with students and families.
“I was afforded memorable moments to contribute to embracing our diverse and inclusive culture,” Walker says. “When the opportunity came along to work with the office of inclusion, I saw it as a chance to extend my heart, care, and concern for the greater SCAD community, and duplicate my efforts to faculty and staff.”
The SCAD office of inclusion engages the collective ingenuity of its students, faculty, and staff to create opportunities and inspire inclusive innovation within the university community and the creative industries in the disciplines SCAD teaches.
