Participants will learn strategies to support academic goals and the progression to higher education. The esteemed panel of educational leaders includes Susanna Melón, assistant director for student services, English learners and equity and Timothy Fields, senior associate dean in undergraduate admission at Emory University and author of “The Black Family’s Guide to College Admissions.”
