Cohort 2 | Diversity & Inclusion

On March 6, we were joined by Reverend Doctor Shakeema North. Among her many roles advocating for youth, Pastor Shak is the Vice President of Youth Development, Equity and Inclusion at Covenant House New York. She discussed the history of higher education in America, and the role of race in its development. Pastor Shak highlighted how the needs of minority students too often go unaddressed on many college campuses and how that may correlate with a lack of diversity and inclusion efforts within college communities.
