The 2026 Institute on Black Life Annual Conference, “Black Life in Higher Education and Beyond,” features an engaging alumni panel exploring the experiences of traditional students as they navigated their academic journeys and transitioned from college to professional success. Moderated by Purnata Subah, a University of South Florida undergraduate student, this panel brings together accomplished USF alumni who reflect on their experiences as traditional students and the lessons they learned throughout their educational and professional careers. Panelists include: • Candace Brown ('14) • Meagan Glover ('08) • Brittany M. Taggett ('22) By connecting current students with alumni who have successfully navigated similar paths, this conversation highlights the lasting impact of higher education and the many ways USF graduates continue to make meaningful contributions in their professions and communities.
