Ms. Brown-Trickey has a lifelong experience and commitment to peacemaking; environmental issues; developing youth leadership; antiracism education and training; cross-cultural communication; gender and social justice advocacy. She is one of the nine African American students, commonly known as the Little Rock Nine who collectively resisted opposition to the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School in 1957, with protection from federal troops. As a living witness to history―and as an active participant who has helped shape it she delivers a fascinating exploration of social change, diversity, and the battle against racism throughout the decades, from the beginnings of her involvement in the Civil Rights Movement to the present day.

Coming Thursday, January 27 @ 12:30 PM on Zoom:
Please join the Leadership Institute on Holocaust Remembrance Day as we honor the many millions who died during the holocaust and work to prevent future genocides.

As an adult, suppressed memories of her past came flooding back once she began to fashion sculptures related to the Holocaust.

Think Big! Mon. 11/8 @ 1:30 PM
Saul Flores, is a philanthropist, photojournalist, and speaker who is nationally recognized for his social impact projects.
On a service-learning spring break trip to his mother’s hometown, Saul discovered a withering cinderblock elementary school, flowered by beautiful fields of sugarcane. Determined to help make a difference in the lives of the children, and armed with the knowledge that education provides youth a solid foundation, Saul made it his mission to raise funds to reconstruct their school. After an arduous three-year labor of love, and with the help of a community of scholars wanting to make a difference, the 134 elementary students graduated in a newly reconstructed school.
Please join the Leadership Institute to learn how serving others is leadership, the value of service-learning trips and giving back to communities, and how to use your skills and talents in service of others.

Adaptability in Leadership Development – Thursday, June 17 @ 11 am
Sponsored by the Leadership Institute!
Good leaders provide a sense of direction, whether that is on the court or in a boardroom. Strong leaders can be relied on to make the right decisions in the clutch moments of a game or project cycle. A good leader takes responsibility for their actions, motivates the team, promotes a strong work ethic and is flexible when faced with unexpected challenges. In addition, the values of a leader on the court align with that of a good leader in the business world. We will discuss accountability in the development of leaders, fostering self-motivation, a positive work ethic, and flexibility (adaptability). We will also walk students through creating a leadership development plan for their organization.
