The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed profound disparities in the educational landscape throughout our country. In addition to hearing about a variety of local outreach programs and organizations addressing this challenge, you will learn how Marquette is collaborating with the Milwaukee Public Schools’ Department of Black & Latino Male Achievement to organize the Leadership and Brotherhood Summit for Young Men of Color. This annual conference engages in a community-wide effort to support leadership development and enhance the academic success of young men of color in Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin. Join us for a conversation with faculty, alumni, and community experts to explore the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on minority communities and examine how we can ensure a more equitable future for all our neighbors.
