	Biography
	Prior to assuming her current faculty position at CGU in 1987, Daryl G. Smith served as a college administrator for 21 years in planning and evaluation, institutional research and student affairs. Her current research, teaching, and publications have been in the areas of organizational implications of diversity, assessment and evaluation, leadership and change, governance, student affairs, adult development, and the impact of women's colleges and other special purpose institutions. In addition to numerous articles and papers, she is an author or co-author of The Challenge of Diversity: Alienation or Involvement in the Academy, Achieving Faculty Diversity: Debunking The Myths, Interrupting The Usual: Successful Strategies for Hiring Diverse Faculty, Organizational Learning a Tool for Diversity and Institutional Effectiveness, Strategic Evaluation: An Imperative for the Future of Campus Diversity, Diversity Works: The emerging picture of how students benefit, Strategic Governance: Making Big Decisions Better, Taking Women Seriously: Lessons and Legacies for Educating the Majority, Studying Diversity in Higher Education: Lessons From the Field, and Diversity in Higher Education: A Work in Progress. In partnership with five other evaluators of national diversity projects, she has been a co-author of To Form a More Perfect Union: Campus Diversity Initiatives, A Diversity Research Agenda, and Assessing Campus Diversity Initiatives. She also served as part of two U.S. delegations to Ford Foundation sponsored trinational conferences (India, South Africa, U.S.) on campus diversity in higher education that have taken place in South Africa and the United States for which she wrote a paper on issues of evaluation. Smith also served as one of three Principals responsible for the evaluation of the Campus Diversity Initiative for the James Irvine Foundation in collaboration with the Association of American Colleges and Universities in Washington, D.C. This five-year project involved working with 28 private colleges and universities in California to develop their capacity to sustain and monitor progress on institutional diversity. That project has resulted in a final report, 3 research briefs (on unknown students, faculty hiring, and the intersection of race and class), and a resource kit for campuses. A monograph is forthcoming.
