Education in America: An Evening with Dr. Steve Perry

The Student Activities Board’s Multicultural Affairs Committee is proud to welcome CNN’s Education Contributor and best-selling author Dr. Steve Perry to UK's campus as part of our Diversity Dialogues series on Thursday, November 3, 2011.

Dr. Perry is best known as the founder of Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, CT which has boasted a 100% graduation and enrollment rate in four-year university programs for a period of six years. He will speak on how teachers, parents, and others can help our children get the education they need and deserve. The lecture will begin at 7pm in Memorial Hall followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Tickets are free for UK faculty, staff, and students and the general public.

Tickets are available now at the Student Center Ticket Office.

Copies of Dr. Perry’s newest book, Push Has Come to Shove: Getting Our Kids the Education They Deserve (Even if it Means Picking a Fight), are available to purchase in the University of Kentucky Bookstore and will be sold at the event.
