The question addressed the issue, "Homicide is the leading cause of death amongst African American youth ages 15-24". The event was staged at the 27th South-western Black Student Leadership Conference at the Texas A&M University. The UWI was also presented with an award for International Recognition.
The Charles E Williams Advanced Leadership Institute (ALI) is a special forum for seasoned student leaders who have demonstrated their abilities at their own colleges. ALI pushes them to take it to the next level.
The limited enrollment programme is held in conjunction with Southwestern Black Student Leadership Conference (SBSLC), but provides a more in-depth workshop lineup and one-on-one attention.
