Black Alumnae Network President and Chairperson Catherine Sackey '22 and Co-Chairs Dolores Bryant '84 and Channél Jordan '19 invite all Douglass alumnae, friends, the entire Rutgers community and beyond to come together for this important, practical, and interactive conference. Join us and our dynamic panelists to explore underlying issues that continue to impact the security of Black women and girls, technology, and employment. Through powerful panel discussions and expert insights, we’ll consider what we need to prepare for the future. Together we will move beyond conversation to share valuable resources and develop a collective CALL TO ACTION.
