Accomplishments

As a student leader at Purdue University, I present4d the vision for a cultural Center to the President who in turn authorized the McCaskill Committee to be the official representation for matters pertinent to students of the African Diaspora. It was the first of its kind on a major college campus.

Negotiated the details of the Cultural Center with the Faculty Ad Hoc Committee and Trustees.

Today the Cultural Center is a repository for the history of the African Diaspora, and a resourced center for all students.
