Don?t miss this event! Every year 50% of African American high school students and 53% of African American college students are dropping out of school. The television program will occur on August 20, 2004 at Drexel University, Creese Student Center, Mandell Theater, 33rd and Chestnut Street. All guests should arrive at 5:45. The featured guest speakers will include Associate Dean Stephen Cox ? Drexel University, Dr. Judith Thomas-Lincoln University, Dr. Doreen Loury-Arcadia University and Dr. Nathaniel Gadsden.

Please forward this email to to church members, family, NAACP, fraternity and friends. This television program may become a 6 part series, if there is enough support.

We guests will have an opportunity to ask the panelist questions. Our goal is to come up with a set of agenda items that we will address during the academic year on the various campuses. The event is free and we encourage you to bring your friends. Please call me at 610-583-3125 or e-mail me to confirm that you will attend.
