Mia Morton Hubbard

Mia M. Hubbard, M.A. (She/Her) is an Associate Professor in the Communication Department at Sinclair Community College, where she has been teaching for nearly a decade. Her path to education was unconventional, beginning in banking as a personal banker and later in the travel industry with AAA as a domestic travel agent. Encouraged by a professor who recognized her potential, Mia discovered her true calling in teaching. Since stepping into the classroom for the first time, she has been passionate about helping students uncover their abilities, see their potential, and pursue their goals. She serves as course coordinator for the Interpersonal Communication class, a role she has held for seven years, and is an active faculty senator, serving as a liaison between faculty and administration.

Beyond the classroom, Mia has developed a wide-ranging impact on student and community engagement. She has taught leadership courses for emerging managers, mentored international students, and facilitated study abroad experiences in Costa Rica and South Africa. A dedicated author, she wrote the children’s book Black Is…, which fosters self-esteem and self-acceptance among young readers—a philosophy she integrates into her teaching. Mia is also a dynamic public speaker, frequently hosting programs and events, bringing her energy and passion for people into every interaction.

Mia’s excellence and commitment have been recognized through multiple awards, including the SOCHE Teaching Excellence Award, the NIA Award for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, and recognition as one of Sinclair’s Amazing 31 Women. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Philosophy in Communication, expected in spring 2027. With a deep love for connecting with others, inspiring growth, and sharing her voice, Mia aspires to one day inspire thousands on a larger stage, believing that her purpose is guided by both dedication and faith.
