SU Hosts Multicultural Leadership Summit March 7

SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Multicultural Student Services Office hosts its annual Multicultural Leadership Summit for students 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, March 7, in the Guerrieri University Center and Commons.

This year’s theme is “A World of Opportunities: Leadership, Exploration and Development.” Dr. Monica Moody Moore, founder of High Aspirations, an educational and management consulting services, and assistant dean of Johns Hopkins University’s Carey Business School, keynotes the event at 9 a.m.

The SU alumna speaks on developing leadership brands and strategic positioning for future opportunities.

“Young people can start to create their leadership brands with their actions now to serve as the foundation for their brands in the future,” she said.

Moore began establishing her leadership brand as an SU student. Studying communications, she tapped into her interest in writing and public speaking by authoring a play that was performed on campus and giving multiple speeches. That creativity has grown and manifested itself in many ways throughout her career, which has included not only classroom lectures and motivational speaking, but a book of poetry.

Through her work leading High Aspirations, she has provided leadership workshops and seminars in Maryland, Florida, California and Washington, D.C. Moore also serves as an adjunct lecturer of advanced academic programs in Johns Hopkins’ Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and also has taught at Notre Dame University of Maryland and the University of Maryland, College Park.

Registration deadline is Friday, February 27. Fees apply for non-SU students. To register call 410-548-4503. For more information visit the SU website at www.salisbury.edu.
