Over 250 middle and high 学校ers gathered the morning of March 3 for the fifth annual Girls of Color Summit in Kirkhof Center.
Some of them traveled from as far as Detroit, including Taniya Perkins, who woke up at 5 a.m. to make it to her 学校 bus on time. She and La’Shae Horne are high 学校 students at University Preparatory Academy in Detroit and were attending the summit for the 第一次.
The program, hosted by the Center for Women and 性别平等 (CWGE) was broken up into multiple breakout sessions throughout the day, with one track of three sessions for middle 学校, and one for high 学校. After the first session, the entire group gathered together for lunch, where students were asked about what they had learned so far.
