Elizabeth Dearborn Davis, co-founder & CEO of the Akilah Institute for Women, and two currently enrolled students will discuss the atrocities in Rwanda and the brief, yet highly successful, history of the institute.
The Akilah Institute for Women offers college-level associate degrees in hospitality management for young women who are impoverished or disadvantaged. The institute currently is seeking accreditation in other disciplines. The Rwandan government recently gave the school a large parcel of land to build a new campus.
