Hello ThresholdWorld Fam,
It’s been a while so we’re gonna start off with some flavorful news to warm your spirit.
Sunday, August 28th was the Medgar Evers College (MEC) Pre-Inaugural High Tea Fundraiser in honor of the Sixth President, Dr. Patricia Ramsey.
President Ramsey is the first female and scientist to serve at the college. You’ve got to read her fascinating bio of accomplishments. https://www.mec.cuny.edu/office-of-the-president/ While contributing to the history she really just wants to make a difference to students and the school community.
She also has cool ties to the schools namesake in her family tree. Her very own cousin Curtis Harris, served to make sure Medgar Evers legacy was protected back in Mississippi years ago. She shared these sentiments to those of us in attendance as we sipped our tea and tipped our hats in her honor.
Speaking of fashion Michael Kors was one of the sponsors the event. Fascinating hatters were gifted with Michael Kors watches. Funds raised will support students via the Medgar Evers College Education Foundation.
In attendance were amazing movers and shakers in Brooklyn and the City University of New York. Authors, judges, civil rights leaders, pastors and more represented at this notable occasion.
The Investiture Ceremony (Formal Installation) for President Ramsey will take place on Thursday, September 29, 2022 at the college. Here’s the info via website. https://www.mec.cuny.edu/inauguration/scholarship-gala/
If you have the opportunity to attend an investiture ceremony or fall convocation at your school make sure to attend. These events are great occasions to witness. You’re part of an institution that takes pride in it’s leaders and mission to educate. You’re the future alumni and professors to carry the tradition. Witness the greatness you’re becoming as you matriculate each year.
All the best!
Melanie
