Building confidence, connection at African Diaspora Youth Conference

Grace Mitchell says helping plan the African Diaspora Youth Conference was the highlight of her university experience. And she got to do it two years in a row.  

The psychology undergraduate worked alongside nine other students to plan activities for potential future University of Windsor students. 

“Seeing the high school students enjoy the activities we planned for them, making new friends, and talking about their plans and goals for post-secondary makes me feel like I'm making a positive impact in their lives,” says Mitchell.
