From Soror Toyonna Robbins & Soror Vanessa Coakley Great Lakes Regional UAC Chairmen
Greetings Sorors of the Great Lakes Region! On behalf of the Great Lakes Region Undergraduate Activities Committee, we would like to thank you for attending the 2021 Undergraduate Roundup and Leadership Conference. In keeping with this year’s theme, Being About the Business of Excellence: Young, Black, and Thriving, it is our desire to promote excellence amongst our undergraduates and help them to thrive during these challenging times. We are excited to engage our undergraduates, strengthen our graduate advisors, and polish our chapter leaders. The purpose of the undergraduate roundup is to celebrate our undergraduates and to increase skill development in leading on campuses and local communities. This year, it is our intent to continue the work that has been laid before us, but also, to fortify relationships between chapters and build sisterly relations within the Great Lakes Region. We fully believe that our undergraduates are the heart of Alpha Kappa Alpha, as it was undergraduates who founded this most illustrious organization 113 years ago. We give thanks to this administration for rising to the challenge of propelling us forward as a region during these most challenging times. We appreciate all of you who have chosen to be here; your commitment to the work of this great sisterhood is truly appreciated.
As the Great Lakes Region Undergraduate Activities Committee chairmen, we are humbled by this opportunity to assist in hosting the last roundup under this administration. We hope that this year’s conference is not only informative but enjoyable! Sincerely, Toyonna Robbins Soror Toyonna Robbins Great Lakes Regional Undergraduate Activities Committee Chairman
