Julian Brown '15 speaks to Ingenuity |
Poly Ingenuity Alumnus Visits Poly
Julian Brown, Ingenuity at Poly class of 2015 and former lacrosse team captain, hosted The Right Path Conference, a discussion for our young men on using all of the resources at their disposal to become successful. Julian is a current sophomore at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). He was accompanied by Thomas Stone, a junior at the USNA from Ellicott City, who is serving as President Elect for the USNA chapter of NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers), Toneo Gulley, Navy football team captain and Marine Corps officer candidate, and Lieutenant Colonel Rafford Coleman, a graduate of Baltimore City College. The men shared their life stories and respective journeys to success, offering the students different insights on reaching one's full potential. This was a great opportunity for the students to see success stories from men with similar backgrounds as their own.

Each year we come together as a community to enjoy a fun day of golf, great food, and socializing to raise funds for STEAM. The charitable donations of all our sponsors and supporters have aided in assisting teachers at public high schools (Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Baltimore School for the Arts) to provide academically enriching experiences and the success has been phenomenal.
The S.T.E.A.M. Golf Outing event would not be possible without you, and we look forward to growing this list of sponsors as we prepare to support this year's event (see attached flyer for sponsorship details).
Please RSVP by May 8, 2017 to Frederick Taylor [email protected] to register.
