The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Committee presents annual programs for the College community that honor Dr. King and his legacy of challenging inequality in the distribution of wealth, unjust war, and racial inequities. This year they have invited distinguished alumna Desirée Rogers. A Louisiana native who served as the White House Social Secretary to President and Mrs. Obama, Ms. Rogers has a record of leadership in both the corporate and government worlds. In her lecture, “The Making of a Woman,” she will focus on making contributions in the arts and business communities.
