CYCLE 6: NO EXCUSES, JUST XPRESSION

During the 2nd Spring Semester at SUNY Old Westbury Gifted Souls Transitioned into being a Spring internship program catered to Freshmen students apart of the CALL program (Community Action Learning and Leadership)

 The classes were held on Fridays from 12-4pm.

        The Children’s Shangai and G.S.T formed a partnership and began the Jamaican Book Fund. At the completion of the Cycle, G.S.T hosted their annual Talent Show to honor women that are Battling Breast Cancer.

CYCLE 7: 15 MINUTES OF FAME

“Turning the Stairs into our Stage”

During the fall Semester 2015, We wanted to create a new and exciting way to artist within the Old Westbury Community to express themselves.

We created 15 Minutes of Fame which featured 4 performers within 15 Minutes in the Campus Center which is the most popular hang out spot on campus. During Common Hour all students will walk through the campus center to either enter, or exit the building. The performers would get their 15 Minutes of Fame for performing in the middle of the college campus while the audience sat on the stairs, stood up on the corridor, or stopped quickly on their way in or out  of the building.    We also held our Annual Show time at the Apollo featuring RNB boys group Exit 21.

CYCLE 8
The first Experience

This was the first time that an intern for Gifted Souls were able to work with the club aspect of Gifted Souls.

Our intern was Joshua Pettion who worked with the Student Government Association,Gifted Souls Executive Board and  Children Shangai while attending classes to maintain internship Hours.

At the conclusion of the Cycle we hosted our 4th Annual Talent Show RISING STARS “Not just Surviving, but Thriving”.

This Talent show was dedicated to Tanya, a member of the Nassau Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. who is a Survivor or Breast Cancer.
