IPD is pleased to announce Destyn Land as the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Program Specialist for the Institute for Professional Development.  Before his role at Metro State, Destyn worked as a Multicultural Student and Program Support Specialist at the University of Minnesota. Within that role, Destyn not only supported students directly, but intentionally crafted programs and initiatives dedicated to eliminating barriers to best support students from historically marginalized backgrounds. Destyn brings with him a strong passion for Social Justice driven by the desire to co-create a world where everyone is able to “be free, to live fully, and to be well.” -bell hooks
