“Dr. Ahmed led a 3-day workshop for us focused on the intersection of intercultural competency and social justice theories. He immediately established an environment where each of us could freely and comfortably open ourselves to learning. Our outcome for the workshop was for each of us – faculty and staff – to identify a specific project and begin plan to implement using what we learned. Everyone, even seasoned diversity/intercultural workers, commented how much they learned. The energy and enthusiasm was constant throughout the entire 3 days and everyone left with concrete plans to work on their projects. Will definitely try to bring him back again!”

– Brenda Bretz, VP for Institutional Effectiveness and Inclusivity – Dickinson College

“Dr. Ahmed has worked as our consultant in the area of diversity and inclusion [since 2016] and I have found him to be highly skilled at working effectively with all campus constituencies. Dr. Ahmed is a gifted catalyst for leveraging best practices and resources in the area of diversity and inclusion. Through his work with our faculty, staff, senior leadership team and students, he has helped us leverage significant change in a relatively short amount of time. Dr. Ahmed has wide ranging experience in academic affairs and student affairs and consequently brings a holistic mindset to his work.”

– Dr. Melissa Morriss-Olson, Provost – Bay Path University

“Bringing a lecture about Islam and the myths and perceptions of the religion was truly amazing to have on our campus. What was great about the experience was that there were so many similarities to Christianity that the audience did not know about. What was also amazing is the conversations that continued to happen throughout the week about the event. I would definitely recommend having Amer F. Ahmed on your college campus.”

– Kimberly Herrera, Coordinator, Student Activities, Anne Arundel Community College, MD

“Amer’s a dynamic social justice educator who can impact communities in both workshop and lecture settings. He has the ability to present knowledge on intercultural sensitivity and communication and apply it to everyday practice. He speaks on the issues of Islamophobia in great depth and allows for honest and authentic dialogue. During his visit, Amer created multiple opportunities for participants to productively struggle with the material and allow for self-growth and progress.”

– Rudy Mondragon, Coordinator of Leadership Training and Events, University of Washington

“When Dr. Ahmed talked about reshaping our lenses, he helped me learn how I got to where I am in my feelings, and not that I was a culprit and my feelings were wrong.”

– Bonnie Branson, University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry
