In the month of October, Dr. Agness Leslie, fulfilling her role as the CAS Outreach Director, collaborated with UF students and professors to coordinate community engagement presentations at Eastside High School. Noteworthy among these presentations was the enlightening discourse delivered by Nicole Senuku Khumo, a graduate student specializing in Sustainable Development Practice, expounding on Botswana’s global significance as a natural diamond producer. Additionally, Samuel Aye-Gboyin, an artist and MFA candidate in Art and Technology, imparted insights into his mixed-media methodology, addressing pertinent themes related to identity and migration. Dr. Kole Odutola, an associate instructional professor in Yoruba, added a global perspective, highlighting the presence of Yoruba descendants worldwide, including those in the New World. The Center extends its sincere gratitude to all graduate student and faculty volunteers for their invaluable contributions in advancing the mission of CAS.
