The 1st E-Project - "Empowerment Day"
Saturday, August 13th, 2011
One of our 2011 Scholarship Fund recipients Emmanuela Fosu attended as an SCAII ambassador.
Dr.
Linda Rock has now incorporated EProject "Empowerment Day" -- her
nonprofit-the purpose of the EProject was to educate, stimulate and
present educational discussions, contests and opportunities
for educational leaders and students to rally around a particular issue
in education. This was a new fundraising initiative in cooperation with St. Philip's Church's Federal Credit Union and Still
We Rise. Think of it as a town hall wherein we those of us of ALL
ages, come together to collectively formulate solutions we can, should,
and must implement now.
Some of the panelist included: Theodore M. Shaw, former
Director-Counsel and President of the NAACP Legal Defense and
Educational Fund, Inc. and presently Of Counsel at Fulbright and
Jaworski, LLP.; William M. Rodgers III, Ph.D., Professor at Rutgers
University and Chief Economist, Heldrich Center for Workforce
Development (and frequently seen on CNBC and CNN)
