Kyle Lampley (he/hIm)

Assistant Coordinator for Black Academic Excellence 

 

Kyle, a proud Bay Area native, is a dedicated advocate for underrepresented and marginalized communities, particularly those within the Black Diaspora. As a prominent member of generational Black excellence in academia, his pursuit of academic success is deeply rooted in his unwavering commitment to social justice, inclusion, and the empowerment of historically marginalized groups.  

 

Kyle currently serves as a key leader within the Cal Poly community through his work with the Black Achievement Excellence Center (BAEC), where he creates an inclusive environment for students in the Black Diaspora, fostering academic, professional, and personal growth. Through intentional programming, networking, and scholarship support, Kyle ensures students of color have the resources and mentorship to thrive. He also facilitates workshops on leadership development, academic success, and fostering a sense of belonging. Prior to Cal Poly, Kyle worked as an Assistant Program Coordinator at Youth Community Developers in San Francisco, where he designed programs empowering underserved youth and families. His passion for community development also led him to contribute to various Bay Area initiatives, promoting Black creativity, entrepreneurship, and cultural expression through collaborative events and workshops.  

  

Kyle’s impact is not only evident in his professional work, but also in the ways he connects with others, empowering students and community members to advocate for themselves and create lasting change. With a clear vision for an inclusive and diverse future, Kyle is committed to using his skills and passion to continue advocating for equity, access, and opportunity in academia and beyond.
