My name is Danelli Lora, and I am the President of the AfroBeats Dance Club. I am thrilled to share that we successfully hosted the Haunted House Halloween Party this year at Lehman College. This has been one of our best events yet, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our collaborators: Caribbean Unity, the Student Government Association, Crear Futuros, and the Urban Male Leadership Program.

Girls Who Code is on a mission to reshape the programming field and change how the tech industry is perceived. Their goal is to close the gender gap in technology by creating opportunities for young women to explore computer science. Along with building a community where women feel empowered, supported, and inspired to pursue paths in tech. 

Dorothy Dobson is the kind of person whose story mirrors many students who attend Lehman College. She has been a member of the staff at Lehman College since 2011, but she’s been a part of this community for much longer.

I’ve always considered myself an advocate for self-expression and a huge admirer of anyone who can unapologetically be themselves.

Where to begin? I never would’ve imagined everything I gained from coming to Lehman College.

Thirteen years ago, my mother immigrated to the United States from Honduras without the chance to pursue higher education.
