Texas State Senator Royce West established the Conrad Leadership Program to help Texas students gain employment experience before they graduate.
The program is named after the renowned Dallas African-American physician and educational advocate, Dr. Emmet J. Conrad. Since being established in 1993, there are now more than 2500 Conrad Alumni.
Conrad interns at UNT Dallas used the skills they learned in the Marketing & Communications department to create their own video highlighting their summer experience.
