Yetunde is an incredible student leader, who demonstrates great persistence in creating and sustaining positive change at Ithaca College, in the classroom, and in our community. Yetunde is an MLK Scholar, which places her within a cohort-based learning community that develops current leaders into global citizens committed to promoting a legacy of social justice and equity inspired by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. An exemplary student, she upholds and lives our institutional values of academic excellence, respect and accountability, innovation, sustainability, and equity. Yetunde also serves our community as a student member of the college's board of trustees, where she demonstrates great passion for community leadership and provides a critical and key student perspective around issues of the student experience and our campus climate. Yetunde's reach extends further than these formal appointments. She founded the Black History Committee, which creates and develops black history programming designed to promote cultural awareness and support students of color. She is also a co-founder of "Embrace", a publication that thoughtfully curates student narratives and amplifies identities that are often marginalized.
