Topics:
Description : UNO students partner with Nelson Mandela to help plan, market, implement, facilitate, and survey a family resource night for the parents of Nelson Mandela’s scholars. Nelson Mandela generally has the topic of the evenings picked prior. UNO students work to survey the parents on what they would find most beneficial from the proposed topic. UNO students also scheduled and planned the evening, working to bring in speakers who are knowledgeable on the topic for resources available to the families. UNO students have bi-weekly supervisory meetings with Mr. Ogba on progress and planning. UNO students also attended Nelson Mandela each Tuesday and Friday afternoon to facilitate and co-facilitate the scholar’s Social Skills class, taught by Mr. Ogba.

Description : The Women in Media panel was an opportunity to highlight the relevance women play in the ever-expanding media landscape. The objective of inviting professional, local women was to initiate discussion regarding the setbacks they faced as women in a historically male-dominated industry. Also, the women on the panel addressed societal expectations thrust upon women in the workforce. The panel discussion served as a catalyst for questions from pre-professional men and women. One common theme throughout the 90 minute panel was gender pay inequality.
