Our office welcomes Legacy 2000 and Jonathan Santos Silva
Student Leadership & Engagement keeps growing, with the addition of the Legacy 2000 program, a peer mentoring program for Black and Latino first-year students. Legacy 2000 is led by Jonathan Santos Silva, who graduated from Northeastern summa cum laude in 2005 with dual concentrations in Entrepreneurship & Small Business and Marketing. As an undergraduate he was president of the student group Brothers About Change, responsible for developing such programs as Why White Kids Love Hip-Hop and the Women of Distinction Awards Banquet.

Jonathan is also creating a program to promote entrepreneurship and financial independence among students of color.
