Dr. Mitchell earned his Ph.D. in Health Promotion and Curriculum and Instruction. He has completed fellowships with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science Education at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in its Community Leadership Network (CLN). The CLN Fellowship targeted individuals who could be transformative social change agents and focused on the Foundation’s two embedded approaches: racial equity/healing and community/civic engagement. Dr. Mitchell’s CLN capstone project was creating The Other Black History—a stage play that teaches racial justice via a history lesson on slavery, Jim Crow, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement.
