Throughout the years, Dunwoody has hosted more than 160 speakers including Minnesota Council on Foundations President Trista Harris<\/a>, Former Minneapolis Mayor and Executive Director of Generation Next R.T. Rybak<\/a>, and Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief of Staff Medaria Arradondo.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Dunwoody featured Grammy Award Winner Kimberly Brown and KSTP TV 5 Broadcast Journalist Cleo Greene at the February Diversity Forum last Wednesday celebrating Black History Month. More than 100 students and faculty filled the College’s McNamara Center to listen to Brown sing along with her group, Kimberly’s Krew. Afterward, Greene spoke about her experience growing up and fulfilling her dreams of becoming a broadcast journalist. As Greene shared her background story, she urged students to think about what they are posting to social media and how it reflects their personal brand \u2013 and how they are being perceived. \u201cWe are the owner of who we are as a brand,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>\n
