JFK welcomes Dawn Bennett-Alexander or "Dr. BA" as she is affectionately called by her students from the University of Georgia. She is the namesake of UGA's "Dawn Bennett-Alexander Inclusive Community Award", and is arguably the 1st Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging (D&I) professional. She has worked on D&I initiatives in academia since 1982, and wrote the first Employment Law Text Book, now in its 10th Edition.

She is a cum laude graduate of the Howard University School of Law and a magna cum laude graduate of the Federal City College (now the University of the District of Columbia). Licensed to practice in DC and six federal jurisdictions, she is a emerita associate professor of Employment Law & Legal Studies of the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business, retiring in February 2021 after 33 years and over 60 awards and recognitions for teaching and service, including 10 Outstanding Professor of the Year Awards. A celebrated author, facilitator and consultant with nearly 40 years of experience in bringing people together, she created Practical Diversity to help the world take diversity from theory to practice by doing the necessary heart work. Upon her retirement, the University of Georgia honored her contributions by creating the first-of-its-kind annual Dawn D. Bennett-Alexander Inclusive Community Award for faculty demonstrating a significant commitment to Diversity & Inclusion.
