Spotlight on future Xavierite Sydney Gilbert

Hearing “I want to go to Xavier” is music to my ears! Sydney and I met last fall while she was volunteering at the African American Health Alliance Scholarship Ball. Although we were only able to speak briefly, I could tell that she was extremely bright. Sydney is a recent graduate from Homestead High School where she graduated in the top of her class. With dreams of becoming a trauma surgeon, Sydney will attend Xavier University of Louisiana this fall!! Sydney and I met recently where we were able to discuss her goals and she was rewarded a laptop from our foundation in acknowledgment of her hard work and commitment to the community. We look forward to hearing about all of your future accomplishments!! Good luck down in New Orleans, Sydney!!
