The keynote speaker will be entrepreneur, Odell Bizzell. He has written four books and has spoken in the same stages as Dave Letterman and Oprah Winfrey. He will give away and sign about 25 copies of his book titled<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Success Choice<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A No Nonsense Guide to Success in Life &amp; School.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An alumni panel featuring successful MDC graduates coming from different industries, some of whom have started their own businesses or transferred to out-of-state institutions, will target the diverse interests of the graduating class. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishment, to think that the degree, the credential, is the first of many steps,\u201d said Mark Cole, the vice president of advancement and executive director of Foundation at MDC. \u201c[Students] will be joining a network of almost two million people that have walked through our doors and are all connected to MDC, so when you think about managing yourself and your career, there\u2019s access to people who have done it before and can provide great information and connections.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lunch will be provided after the alumni panel and there will also be a DJ and hourly contests consisting of raffles. Prizes will include items from the bookstore such as diploma frames. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A series of workshops on personal and professional development will follow. Maria Chicuen, who serves as the special projects assistant to the College President, will offer one of these workshops. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The workshop will showcase some of the resources and spaces in Miami where young professionals can find support as they embark on their careers and seek potential partners for their adventures as well as mentors or guidance from the community,&#8221; Chicuen said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bizzell will also give a workshop on making the wisest decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy message to graduating students is that when life puts you through struggles, it should not destroy you<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it should \u00a0define you,\u201d Bizzell said. \u201cThis is your defining moment. This is your time to let the world know that you\u2019re here to make a lasting impact on others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of the event is $10.
