\"Dr.<\/a>Dr. Pamela Shipp \u201969<\/strong> grew up around activists. Her large family, with her politically engaged mother and more radical father, shaped her early years in East St. Louis, Illinois, and Denver, where she sought explorations of her own identity and place in the world from an early age.<\/p>\n

These explorations and Shipp\u2019s relentless curiosity have led her to a career as a renowned psychologist, educator, and leadership consultant. Her time at Colorado College began reluctantly and cautiously \u2014 she did not wish to expose herself to the potential dangers and racism found in Colorado Springs in the early 1960s, when it had a \u201chorrible reputation\u201d for people of color.<\/p>\n

Gradually, not without struggle and great pain, Shipp found her space and herself at Colorado College, graduating in 1969 with her B.A. in Political Science. Her experience of being one of three Black women at the college during her four years at CC was profoundly difficult and rewarding \u2014 allowing her to engage with the Civil Rights Movement and struggle for equity on her own terms. Following graduation and some time spent teaching in Colorado Springs School District 11, Shipp moved to Washington, D.C. for her master\u2019s degree from George Washington University before returning to Colorado for her Ph.D. in counseling psychology at the University of Denver. Returning to Colorado Springs was an unexpected, but ultimately incredibly rewarding, endeavor.<\/p>\n

Community engagement and building bridges has always been part of Shipp\u2019s life, and returning to Colorado Springs allowed her to set up her own psychology practice, serve on numerous nonprofit boards and local leadership organizations, and work at the Colorado College Counseling Center.<\/p>\n
