Pelton to participate in Men of Color forum

President Pelton will participate in Color Magazine’s Men of Color Leadership Forum, which will be held in Boston on Thursday, October 11, at the EMC Club at Fenway Park.

The Men of Color Leadership Forum is an intimate dinner and unique panel-style discussion, featuring renowned men of color. Attendees can connect with, and learn from, these inspirational men who have excelled in their industries.

“Dr. Pelton is an exemplary leader and was an easy choice for Color Magazine’s Men of Color Leadership Forum,” said Michael J. Chin, editor of Color Magazine. “We look for exceptional professionals who are not only leaders in their field but in the community. Having interviewed Dr. Pelton, I can tell you he is a great asset to Emerson and to Boston, and a perfect candidate for the panel,” he said.

Pelton was featured on the cover of Color Magazine last August. He spoke to Chin about the impact of higher education, the importance of community service, and his love of 19th-century British Romantic poetry, among other topics.
