Black College Students Gather at First-Ever Leadership Caucus
GEORGETOWN, Ky.
About 200 students from eight Kentucky colleges gathered at Georgetown College for the first-ever statewide Black Student Leadership Caucus.
“This provides a venue where students can discuss issues they’re facing on campus, and see that they’re not alone,’’ said Omar S. Rasoul, a Georgetown admissions counselor and chairman of the caucus.
In the all-day event last weekend, students took part in workshops on topics such as “How to Survive at a Predominately White Institution,” “Young Black Men: Wake Up!” and “Dress for Success.”
Students said the caucus was a great place for Black students to network.
“The best part for me was seeing Black students from across the state getting together,” said Marchello Cavitt, a chemistry major from the University of Louisville.
