Jovita Moore of WSB-TV Participates at Oglethorpe University's Summit on Lynwood Park

****Photo/Video Opportunity****

What: Lynwood Park Summit

When: April 8, 2004, 11:45 a.m.

Where:  Talmage Room, Emerson Student Center, Oglethorpe University

Why: The Lynwood Park Summit sponsored by the Rich Foundation Urban Leadership Program (RFULP) at Oglethorpe University will bring a variety of university constituencies together with the leaders of Lynwood Park, a historically African-American community just outside the gates of the university. This luncheon summit will demonstrate what Oglethorpe students have been doing in Lynwood Park through the RFULP, through the volunteer efforts of Alpha Phi Omega (Oglethorpe’s coeducational service fraternity), and through our federally-funded work/study program.  In addition, the university’s guests from Lynwood Park will provide an overview of that community and its needs in hopes to show the Oglethorpe community even more that can be done.

Photo/Video Opportunities:

Lynwood Park leaders uniting with the Oglethorpe University community to address ways in which the university and its students can become more active with this historically African-American community.
