Over 1,200 Students and Educators Attend Student Leadership Series Events in Indiana

An estimated 1,277 students and educators attended USHLI Student Leadership Series (SLS) events held in Lake County.  USHLI is very grateful for the leadership and cooperation provided by administrators at Gavit High School and Whiting High School that hosted events. The featured speaker was USHLI President Dr. Juan Andrade, who has earned five college degrees including a doctorate, received five honorary doctorates, and is the 4th Latino in history to be decorated by both the President of the United States and the Government of Mexico. The SLS is USHLI's flagship youth program.  Our goal in 2014 is to serve 200,000 students, parents, and educators in 30 states and help in Creating a Culture of Education.  The program is designed to motivate students to improve their academic performance, graduate and pursue some level of post-secondary education.  An estimated 72,515 have been served to date this year in 10 states. The SLS program focuses on Stay-in-School Rallies for middle school and high school students, Career & College Recruitment Fairs, Regional Leadership Summits for college students, Parent Involvement Workshopsfor parents, and Professional Development for educators.  Click HERE to see a one-minute video featuring SLS highlights from 2013.
