The 34th Annual Frances M. Franklin Scholarship and Protégé Luncheon: Change Is Inevitable
Friday, May 3 | 11:30 a.m. ̶ 1 p.m.
Corporate College® East
4400 Richmond Road
Warrensville Heights, Ohio
Join us for an inspirational celebration with keynote speaker Jordan Pierre, a journalist, systemic disruptor for social equity and empowerment, commentator, on-air host and entrepreneur. Pierre was featured on the Today Show and other media outlets following his commencement address this past spring, highlighting his experience as a Black student at a predominantly white higher education institution.
This year’s luncheon will focus on the inevitability of change. New discoveries and new technologies make it impossible to maintain the status quo. As we learn more, we must adapt how we think and change the way we do things.
REGISTER HERE by Friday, April 19.
