Please save the date (8/26 at 10:30am) and plan to attend a talk by Brandon Fleming, the Center for College Access and Success's Distinguished Guest Speaker.
Brandon P. Fleming is a nationally acclaimed Harvard educator and author of MISEDUCATED: A Memoir. An at-risk youth and college dropout turned award-winning educator, Fleming is Assistant Debate Coach at Harvard University and Founder/CEO of the Harvard Diversity Project. Fleming recruits under-served youth with no prior debate experience who he then trains to compete against hundreds of elite debaters from over 25 different countries around the world. Fleming has established a groundbreaking organization that is pipelining Black youth into Ivy League and elite colleges & universities.
For a glimpse of what to expect, check out this YouTube clip of Fleming talking about historically marginalized students, the politics of access and pathways to success.
There will be a reception in the Golden Eagles Room from 9:30am-10:20am for those who would like to meet and chat with Brandon Fleming prior to his lecture at 10:30am in the North Campus Auditorium.
