Sebern Coleman

Dr. Sebern Coleman Jr. has been a proponent of higher education in Nevada since 2007. He provides pathways for students to achieve their goals—ensuring that our schools have the best educators for our children.

Coleman prides himself on helping students and teachers “rethink” education and discover the connection between theory and practice. He works to provide access, training and resources to those who may typically have not had the opportunity to succeed—creating an equitable playing field for marginalized people.

A member of the Las Vegas alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, Coleman hosts several events that target underserved members of the community, focusing on education, scholarship, food insecurity and social inequity.

As if that doesn’t keep him busy enough, Coleman launched a strategic marketing company, Wake Your Dream Up Solutions, to work with startup and small businesses. He also serves as an adjunct communications instructor at Nevada State College.
