Dr Ty-Ron Douglas To Receive CBT Award
Dr. Ty Douglas has been named a Columbia Business Times ’20 Under 40′ Award recipient, and honour that acknowledges his business and community leadership in the city of Columbia, Missouri.
He will receive the award at a gala reception in January 2017.
Dr. Douglas said, “I am an assistant professor and PK–12 program coordinator in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis at MU. I also serve on the pastoral team at Columbia SDA Church. As a professor, I see the world as my classroom and laboratory.”
“I seek to authentically integrate and activate my research, teaching, and service in the community-based spaces that matter most to those I serve, teach, and lead — spaces like neighborhoods, barbershops, churches, and athletic environments are as valuable to me as traditional classrooms.
“In October 2016, I released my latest book, “Border Crossing Brothas: Black Males Navigating Race, Place, and Complex Space.”

“I have an amazing family. I have been happily married for over 10 years, and my sons are healthy and happy young men. It was pretty cool to co-write a book about marriage and family with my wife too.
“I have two books and an audio book to finish in 2017. I plan to achieve this by getting up early to write and staying balanced.”
Congrats, Dr. Douglas!! All the best to you and your family.
Congratulations Ty! We are all very proud of you.
