Linda Capers

Linda serves as Director of the Center for Multicultural Affairs. She provides oversight of our orientation programs, Organic & Physics learning communities, our annual signature program, Unity Through Diversity (UTD).  She also advises student organizations which keeps her connected to the way students experience leadership development.  As a former classroom teacher, Linda finds that working in higher ed has been the perfect venue to expand her interests in student development.  The endless opportunities to view students' unique and diverse experiences through a multicultural lens has been a remarkable career experience.

Professional interests include but are not limited to women's issues, students of color in STEM, and supporting peer learning communities which are a blueprint for successful leadership development.

Linda loves watching suspense/thriller movies, decorating, and baking bread. She also enjoys a wide range of music from classical to country.
