Oluwatosin Adegbola

A tenured Associate Professor and Interim Chair of the Department of Communications Studies at Morgan State University, Dr. Adegbola considers herself a perpetual workaholic. Her academic backgrounds are in Public Relations, English Literature, Mass Communications and Publishing with degrees and training from Kentucky State University, Howard University and Columbia University.

Dr. Tosin as she is typically called, is a public relations professional and educator who embodies enough passions to last several lifetimes. As a professor, she challenges her students to demand a better quality of education and to question complacency. She is fiercely protective of her students' progress and avails herself to the student body in one capacity or another, seven days a week. As a researcher, her works and interests are primarily focused on women's images and the ideologies that lend themselves to better understanding societal relationships with women's images. Dr. Tosin is a committed volunteer and supporter of several philanthropic efforts, especially those that focus on affecting positively the lives of women, children and the environment. She has several notable accomplishments that she rarely recounts as she prefers to take satisfaction from knowing that somehow she has been of help to someone. She fondly and jokingly notes that although she is proud of her numerous awards, she is patiently awaiting a Nobel Prize or comparable.

Notwithstanding a schedule that makes it a challenge, Dr. Tosin loves to write creatively. Under the pen name T.Richard, she will be publishing her first women's fiction novel within a year. She also expresses herself through written words at her blog www.thetosinteatime.com.
