Eric Williams is a seasoned DEI executive with 11+ years leading large-scale access and success programs across higher education, currently serving as Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Rosalind Franklin University. He has a strong track record building cross-sector partnerships—with universities, K–12 systems and community organizations—and managing multi-million dollar portfolios to close equity gaps in student outcomes. His work spans federal TRIO programs, NSF-funded STEM diversity initiatives, and institution-wide strategic planning to improve graduation parity and graduate school pathways. Practical and policy-savvy, he combines grant leadership and program design with hands-on student support experience, having overseen TRIO services for thousands of students and staff teams of 28 or more. Uncommonly for a senior administrator, he pairs military experience advising on unit climate and logistics with an academic foundation that includes a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and a Cornell certificate in Diversity and Inclusion.
