Sharing the Dream strives to be informative on issues of diversity while promoting open-mindedness, celebration of diversity, and acceptance of others on our college campuses and within our communities. The conference also serves as a forum in which to establish or enhance self-awareness in relation to community building endeavors.

Keynote Speaker: John Quiñones
John Quiñones, anchor of “Prime Time” on ABC, host of “What Would you do” and author of “Heroes Among Us”, as keynote speaker. He will be joined for a panel discussion of the Media's role in "Sharing the American Dream'"  by Brockport Alumni, Tariq Spence of WDKX, Jason Torreano, and non-alum Channel 13's news anchor, Norma Holland. That is just the beginning of a power-packed day which will end with a Citizenship Swearing-In Ceremony at 3 p.m.

You will also have the unique opportunity to meet and greet Mr. Quiñones at a book signing.
