Breakout Sessions on Today’s Most Timely Topics will feature interdisciplinary panels discussing issues such as gun violence, the global refugee crisis, self care management, 21st Century Civics, STEAM and failure. We will have a special reunion for the Golden Alumni Society this year, too, inducting alumni who graduated 50 years ago and more into this beloved group.
On the main stage this year, the Morton Deutsch Awards for Social Justice will be presented to James M. Jones and a recent TC alumnus will receive the second Shirley Chisholm Dissertation Award. We are also excited to honor our 2018 Distinguished Alumni and Early Career Awardees during opening ceremony and at the Distinguished Alumni Luncheon. This year’s honorees have worked to promote education, health and social justice issues on a local, national and international scale.
