LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
The 24th-Annual Leadership Institute Concluded On
A High Note
The 24th-annual Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) Leadership Institute concluded at the Marriott Marquis Washington D.C. after four days of best-in-class programming and opportunities for students from the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The NPHC All-Stars opened the ceremony, setting the tone with energy and a tribute to the Divine Nine. Dr. Harry L. Williams, president & CEO of TMCF, gave concluding remarks to students at the closing ceremony.
“Thank you to all the amazing students who attended our leadership conference,” Dr. Williams said. “You guys have showed out in a positive way. I’ve been watching the entire week. Your professionalism is at the highest I’ve ever seen.”
He encouraged students not to take the easy assignments in their lives and careers, noting the difficult assignments will push them to grow and prepare them to thrive.
