The students of the Department of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology will host the 21st annual Diversity Gala on Saturday, May 7, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the AMU Ballrooms. This event is hosted to help support the CECP Graduate Student Organization’s Diversity Scholarship.

Moore has committed her life to building and sustaining grassroots leadership for change. She has a passion for community justice, which led her to co-found Urban Underground in 2000, a nationally recognized grassroots youth development organization whose members have been at the forefront of youth-led social change in Milwaukee and the region

- Hors d’oeuvres
- A cash bar (one drink ticket included with registration)
