PROGRAM PROPOSAL / NEXT SPEAKER

Now that we have vital feedback from Student Life Studies, the planning has begun for next year's breakfast. Matt, our chair, will write the program proposal and present it to a voting committee in a couple of weeks. JJ, The Village Director, will again screen potential speakers and suggest which ones to move forward. Who would you like to see as the next MLK Breakfast speaker? Give your input here - we will consider all suggestions.

This sub-co embodies the African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child, it is our intent to provide a wide array of speakers and topics that enhance student development.
