Testimonials
Dr. Malveaux’s presentation sparked a lively discussion on women, race, and economics in our following class session. The students commented on how engaging and informative she was and what an honor it was to have her visit our class. Indeed it was an honor, and I thank her for her time. I also very much enjoyed her presentation at the Dayton Urban League dinner that evening. I wasn’t surprised that she received a standing ovation from the over 1,200 member audience!
Dr. Malveaux keynote address received rave reviews. She was highly rated on our evaluations by the conference attendees. Her comments were timely, insightful and completely aligned with the ongoing urban education issues CUBE addresses, as well as with key national issues such as the economy and federal politics. I was quite pleased with Ms. Malveaux’s keynote address, but more importantly our meeting attendees were absolutely captured by her intelligent and informed commentary. If the opportunity arises CUBE would enthusiastically invite Dr. Malveaux to again present to our audience of urban school board members and superintendents from across the nation. Thanks for all of your assistance in our selection of Dr. Malveaux.
Julianne Malveaux did a marvelous job in her presentation on “Women and Children of the Earth.” Her articulate passion shone through and moved our students in a significant fashion. She was also great with the students and other faculty members at the dinner.
