At the intersection of policy, technology and diversity, along a road that starts in Detroit and ends in Washington, D.C., lies WMU alumna Tiffany M. Moore's remarkable career. The first in her family to attend college, she studied Spanish and Japanese at WMU, although her mother had hoped she would pursue a business major.Tiffany was recently named Head of Federal Policy & Government Affairs at Waymo, where she leads federal engagement and policy strategy to support the deployment of autonomous driving technology. For more than 10 years prior she served as the senior vice president for the Consumer Technology Association, best known for its internationally-renowned annual Consumer Electronics Show. Her path to WMU was fueled by the commitment to education of her hard-working single mother.This mini documentary, based on an interview with Tiffany by LA Times columnist LZ Granderson, follows her journey from the suburbs of Detroit to WMU for college, to her post-graduation leap to D.C., where for 30 years she has worked with people on both sides of the aisle and across multiple perspectives to help shape public policy. Tiffany has worked in the Halls of Congress, with several Presidential Administrations, and with corporate and industry leaders, always intent on finding common ground on difficult issues. What’s made her a great leader is her genuine curiosity to learn from others who may think differently and her ability to build trust. The screening will be followed by three short panels:Reflections from Tiffany's peers in the Camp Baber program; student success programs that exist today.Dr. Deveta Gardner, Tiffany’s Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority sister, on the critical roles sororities play in finding a community and gaining a sense of belonging.How We Talk/Heterodox Academy values shaped Tiffany's success.Open Inquiry, Viewpoint Diversity, Constructive DisagreementA reception will follow at 5:15 pm in Room 3025 Brown Hall—Humanities Center Conference Room.
