Student Senate's Leadership Summit to feature two motivational speakers

Brian Banks, a former athlete and current activist against wrongful convictions, will speak about sexual assault awareness Tuesday in Memorial Hall at 7 p.m.

Banks, a former professional football player, was falsely accused of sexual assault and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. His conviction was overturned in 2012 and he has since become an activist against wrongful convictions and assists in exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals.

Author and CSC alumna Dr. JoAnne Owens-Nauslar who was scheduled to give three presentations Wednesday has postponed her travel plans due to adverse weather conditions. She will appear at CSC at a later date.

Saturday, Nov. 21, Nick Scott, who survived a traffic accident at a young age to become a wheelchair pro bodybuilder with the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, will speak on overcoming odds, using determination and a positive mindset to reach personal goals in Memorial Hall at 7 p.m.

All events are free and open to the public. Contact Katrina Hurley at katrina.hurley@eagles.csc.edu for more information.
