The fourth Annual Youth Summit and Diversity Dialogue, titled Getting to the Core of Diversity, was held at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas. The panel of speakers and workshop leaders included local professors, former Dallas Cowboy Emmit Smith, television anchor for local station WFAA Debbie Denmen, SMU’s Provost Paul Ludden, and alumnus Sameer Paroo.
“I don’t want anyone to be like me, I want them to be better,” said Smith during his keynote speech on diversity and excellence. Smith, who is a recent inductee to the NFL Hall of Fame, and Paroo, who was then the Student Affairs Coordinator at the Aga Khan Academy in Nairobi, inspired attendees to face up the challenge of leadership.
