The theme of this year's summit was "Character Education Matters in the School and the Workplace: Your Career Starts Now." Attendees heard a keynote address by Clifton Taulbert, an internationally acclaimed character development speaker, entrepreneur, businessman, and Pulitzer Prized nominated author (Last Train North) and attended several workshop offerings.
Nice job students!
