Eva Dickerson, a third year student at Spelman College, is a student leader active in addressing issues of responsible, resident centered, community development. For the last two years Eva has worked closely with grassroots efforts to advocate for the rights of current Westside residents, including efforts to mobilize residents in surrounding communities to support the passing of a community benefits agreement that would guarantee current residents receive specific amenities and/or mitigations as new development takes place. She is currently working with local residents and her fellow students to explore possibilities for creating a series of community tours that will introduce Spelman College students to the history of the Westside and to current businesses that would benefit from increased patronage of Spelman students. In addition to her work organizing around resident retention, Eva has also served as an advisor to me as president of Spelman. She is actively partnering with College administration to help us provide fresh produce to neighborhood residents by establishing a farmer's market on campus which will be open to local residents.
