It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rochon Perry. Rochon wore many hats in the College of Ethnic Studies, as she began with Africana Studies in 2017 and then CCI until 2020. She was active in our Black Faculty and Staff Association and was instrumental in planning the College of Ethnic Studies' 50th anniversary. While doing that, Rochon served on many Literary/Journalism boards and ran her own book company, Cedar Grove Publishing. She was a huge fan of Futurism and Sci-fi. I considered her not only a colleague but also a friend. She will be greatly missed, more than words can express.

Please keep Rochon's family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers. More information about a memorial/celebration of life for Rochon will be available shortly. Rest well to our beloved sister Rochon.
