There is hope for our Future!
Hundreds of students of African descent from many of Florida’s colleges and universities will pack the DoubleTree Resort on International Drive this weekend. Under the direction of President Michael J. Brown, the Florida African American Student Association Inc.
(FAASA) will kick off its 35th Annual Spring Convention, Thursday, April 15th with the theme : “Nullifying the Prediction-Re-Writing the Future”.
Students will experience quite a journey through networking with others in seminars and general sessions learning about their rich heritage and culture and developing leadership skills to dispel the negative prediction over their lives and re-write the future. A new executive board will be elected by the delegates at this Convention.
To culminate the Convention, one of the most well-known psychologists, Dr. Na’im Akbar, will address the assembly as FAASA’s Karamu (banquet) speaker on Saturday evening. Tickets for the Karamu are available to the public at a price of $55.00 each. Reservations must be made by noon, Friday, April 16.
(Please call 954-593-7391) FAASA’s Executive Board, Board of Directors, and Council of Elders hope that each delegate will leave Orlando being “FAASAfied”.
