“Our goal is to unite black student leaders and promote leadership among collegiate communities in the East,” says summit chairman Delvin Moody ’18, a political science and religion double major from Utica, New York. “We’re hoping to draw students from the Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse areas.”
Agenda items include raising awareness of social issues facing the black community, providing network opportunities, and further establishing the voices of young black leadership.
Rochester mayor Lovely Warren will speak at 10 a.m. Other speakers include Jessica Lewis, principal/CEO LaLew Public Relations; DuWaine Bascoe, president, Rochester Black Bar Association; and D. McLarin Johnson, executive director, Mentoring to Manhood. The summit also will include networking sessions and a post-event party sponsored by the Spanish and Latino Student Association.
