\nThe keynote speakers for this workshop are graduates of Green Run High School; Dr. Veleka Gatling, former VBCPS executive director of programs for exceptional children and currently faculty of Old Dominion University; and Angelique Phillips, coordinator of the Legal Studies Academy at First Colonial High School.

Following the October event, two more BGR workshop are scheduled for Dec. 14 at Kellam High School and Feb. 15, 2020, at Bayside High School, respectively.
