During her first semester at The University of Texas at Dallas, Elizabeth Flash Durham BS’05 was so homesick, she planned to move back to Houston. Arthur Gregg, who was coordinator of multicultural services at the time, changed her mind. At the end of January, Gregg, the founding director of the Multicultural Center (MC) and assistant vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion, retired, leaving a deep and long-lasting impact. Telling me to stay is the reason I stayed and is the reason I am successful,” Durham said. He had been working for two years in a similar role at the University of Houston, his alma mater.
