STEVE PERRY: Push Has Come to Shove
An education is something that most students take for granted, but for some children in America it is considered a luxury. Join the Student Activities Board’s Multicultural Affairs Committee in welcoming education advocate Steve Perry as he speaks on how community members can help America's kids get the education they need and deserve at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, in Memorial Hall. This event is sponsored by the Student Activities Board.
Born into poverty, Perry grew to believe success in life is determined by where you end, not where you start. This philosophy inspired him to transform the lives of poor and minority children by providing them with access to a college education. Perry is best known as the founder of Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, Conn., which has boasted 100 percent graduation and enrollment in four-year university programs for a period of six years.
In his most recent book, "Push Has Come to Shove," Perry describes what steps need to be taken to transform the educational experience and ensure that all American schools deliver a first-rate education to its kids. Copies of the book will be sold in the University Bookstore located in the Student Center following the event.
Students, faculty and staff can pick up a free ticket at the Student Center ticket office weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets are also free to the general public. Tickets will be available for pickup starting Monday, Sept. 26. Contact the ticket office at (859) 257-TICS.
