Miss Kayla Dukes

I’m passionate about making HBCUs accessible to students everywhere! As a proud 3rd-generation HBCU graduate, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s of Science in Educational Technology from Touro University. My academic journey has been deeply inspired by my family’s legacy of excellence at Historically Black Colleges and Universities—especially my grandmother, a Winston-Salem State University alumna who lived through the era of segregation and integration, earning multiple degrees and certifications. Also, both my parents and I attended Morgan State University.

I’m an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and I am dedicated to continuing the sorority’s mission of service to all mankind, particularly through initiatives that promote education, community engagement, and technology integration.

As an educator with multiple teaching certifications, I’ve taught elementary students and served as a school technology lead. I also completed the AmeriCorps Generation Teach Leadership Residency, where I focused on fostering success in both students and teachers. My experiences as a teacher and a mentor have fueled my desire to connect students with the unique opportunities and resources HBCUs provide.
