USHLI Partners with Latino Memphis 

SLS Event held in Memphis, TN

USHLI's Student Leadership Series (SLS) continued its fall campaign with a successful partnership event with Latino Memphis.  Latino Memphis organized SLS events at Kirby and Cordova high schools and Kingsbury and Hickory Ridge middle schools.  The events were attended by over 1,225 students and educators.

  

USHLI is very grateful to Mauricio Calvo, Latino Memphis Executive Director, and Jennifer Alejo, Latino Memphis Student Success Mentor for their leadership and support, which made these events possible.  USHLI also appreciates the cooperation of the school principals: Dr. Reginald R. Williams, Sr. (Kirby), Dr. Felicia Everson (Cordova), Mr. Melvin Harris (Kingsbury), and Mr. Cedric Smith (Hickory Ridge).

 

 

The featured nationally prominent speaker for this event was Roy Juarez, Jr., president and founder of the "Homeless by Choice" tour.  Transportation was provided courtesy of Southwest Airlines.

 
SLS participating schools will see their students become better motivated, more involved in class and extracurricular activities, more determined to succeed academically and in life, and better prepared to enter the workforce. 
Over 110,125 students, parents, and teachers in 24 states have been served this year. 
 

Persons interested in hosting an SLS event in 2013 or 2014 should contact Dr. Juan Andrade at  [email protected].
