[Male Aggie Volunteers Needed] Black Male Initiative: Empower the Next Generation of Aggie Male Students
Greetings Alumni,
I’m Dr. Jenard D. Moore, Class of ‘12, and I currently serve as the Black Male Initiative Director for the Willie A. Deese College of Business and Economics. I’m reaching out because I need your help, and more importantly, your presence is essential!
Do you remember the first time you learned to tie a tie? Can you still recall the person who gave you your first one? We want you to experience this full-circle moment by attending the Exceptional Males in Business (EMB) 2nd Annual Ignite & Empower Symposium on September 27-28, 2024. Even more, we’re asking you to purchase a tie and personally gift it to a student during the symposium!
This is legacy in action. Many students may not yet own a tie, and for you to be the one to give them their first will be a moment they’ll cherish forever. You are more than welcome to purchase more than one tie if you’d like to gift multiple students!

This year, we’ll welcome students from Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Winston-Salem State University, North Carolina Central University, and a few other schools like GTCC, Forsyth Tech, and UNCG. We’re expecting an incredible turnout of over 200 students!
