MLK Keynote Presentation

We are excited to welcome Dr. Michael A. Baston, president of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C), as our keynote speaker. Dr. Baston is an in-demand speaker on the role of higher education in moving the needle on equity and justice in America.

In addition to his presidencies, Dr. Baston is known as a national leader, including his role as a national Guided Pathways and Equity Transfer Initiative coach for the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).

The Keynote will be presented as a discussion moderated by BW's CJ Harkness, with questions created to reflect on the 2025 MLK Week theme, "Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community?"
