An estimated 900 middle school and high school students and educators attended our Student Leadership Series events held in the Bronx, NY. The intent of the presentations was to encourage students to stay in school, improve their academic performance, graduate, and plan to pursue some kind of post-secondary education or training. The featured speaker was Carlos Ojeda.
The schools hosting the events were: University Heights High School, and Bronx Leadership Academy II. USHLI is very grateful for the support and cooperation received from everyone at these schools, in particular, School Liaisons Ms. Passion Foy and Ms. Lillian De Jesus.
This was our 39th Student Leadership Series event of 2012, bringing the total number of students, parents, and professionals served to 45,982 in 21 states. The next stops for the Student Leadership Series are Chicago, IL (11/2-3), Ogden, UT (11/5), Jerome, ID (11/6), Boise, ID (11/6), Yakima Valley, WA (11/7), Omaha, NE (11/7), Woodburn, OR (11/8), and Hammond, IN (11/7-9).
