Lecture by Brandon P. Fleming, Author of "Miseducated: A Memoir"

 Northeastern’s Center for College Access and Success (CCAS) and the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion cordially invite the NEIU community to attend a lecture by Brandon P. Fleming from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 26 in the Auditorium on the Main Campus. A welcome reception will take place from 9:30-10:15 a.m.

Fleming is a nationally acclaimed educator and author of “Miseducated: A Memoir” (Hachette Books). His story of struggle, success and service has inspired millions around the world. An at-risk youth and college dropout turned award-winning educator, Fleming is Assistant Debate Coach at Harvard University and founder/CEO of the Harvard Diversity Project. Fleming was recruited to join the Harvard debate faculty at the age of 27. Harvard later approved Fleming’s proposal to establish a new department within the university system called the Harvard Diversity Project—an unprecedented pipeline program of the Harvard Debate Council. Fleming now leads an executive staff and board that has raised more than $1 million to enroll more than 100 students of color into Harvard’s international summer debate residency on full scholarship. 

Founded in 1978, CCAS develops collaborative partnerships that engage the entire community in supporting students to succeed academically and socially. CCAS brings together teachers, parents, administrators and staff from community agencies, universities, arts and cultural organizations, and businesses to share knowledge and resources. 

The Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion provides leadership, vision and accountability on NEIU’s commitments to foster diversity and inclusive excellence, institutionalize culturally responsive teaching, learning and programming, resolve systemic inequities and create a welcoming, supportive and respectful environment for all.
