Distinguished Faculty Lecturer
The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring.

For associate professor Kristi Green, SLCC is a beacon for diversity in how it supports marginalized communities in obtaining higher education. She sees this mission of inclusivity as a value that the college embraces daily.
Even so, Kristi notes there are still few Latinas in higher education leadership positions. As SLCC’s Distinguished Faculty Lecturer for 2024, Kristi’s lecture will focus on the ‘counterstories’ of Latinas working in higher education and how colleges can foster more inclusive environments. “Counterstorytelling is a method of recounting the experiences of the racially and socially marginalized,” Kristi says.
In her eight years at SLCC, Kristi has taught courses on Entrepreneurship, Small Business and Management, among others. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Utah, a Master of Business Administration from Independence University, and a PhD in Higher Education Administration from the University of Wyoming.
