Auburn student presents at Lasell symposium
NEWTON, Mass. Naiv Luciano Velez, a Lasell University student from Auburn, presented at the university’s Fall Career Readiness Symposium in December.
Velez was a member of the university’s course on Black Psychology, and helped to organize African Diaspora Day educational activities for symposium. Velez facilitated a panel discussion on Black identities in the African Diaspora, featuring guests who shared their journeys of Black racial identification and the nature of their lived experiences within the Diaspora.
The December event showcased the work of Velez and more than 150 other students in a digital format due to COVID-19. The event was reimagined to celebrate and showcase the ties between career preparedness and Connected Learning, due to a three-year grant from the Davis Educational Foundation.
