Anthony Sages: Ignoring the Leadership Potential of Non-Traditional Students Is a Mistake

New university programs are giving underprivileged individuals a chance to demonstrate their professional and leadership skills. As a leadership development expert, Anthony Sages comments on the need for a diverse set of innovators.

2012-07-25
NEW YORK, NY, July 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Every day, typical college students are given the opportunity to focus on their education and pave the way for a solid career. However, those same opportunities do not always exist for an assorted set of the population that is afflicted with a wide array of poor circumstances. A new report from Fox News highlights the story of one young, single mother, Channel Baez, who was granted a chance to study with some of the brightest minds in leadership. Anthony Sages, a financial expert who also specializes in advancing leadership opportunities for underprivileged students, believes the story of Channel Baez highlights a greater need for cultivating talent among overlooked individuals.

According to the article, Baez was a gifted student who held a lot of promise in her future. However, when she was 18, she became pregnant and many of her friends and family failed to continue giving her support. In an effort to prove those individuals wrong, Baez studied hard and earned her associate degree whilst holding a full-time job and providing for her daughter. Continuing her education, she faced difficulty adapting to the standard university life at Framingham State University and found that she had to transfer to yet another school to fulfill her dreams. At The University of Massachusetts Boston, her long journey and hard work was recognized as she was only one of 50 students to attend the 2011 Harvard Latino Leadership Program.

Anthony Sages notes that Baez's struggle is one that is not unfamiliar to non-traditional students all across the country. "It is wonderful that Baez persevered and was able to learn more about her leadership abilities through Harvard's program, but she is just one of many students who need greater mentorship." Learning from his participation with The Leadership Institute--an organization that has trained over 100,000 students to become leaders in public policy--Anthony Sages says that many ignored individuals have skills that go unnoticed. "With more leadership programs, people can get the support they need and discover how they can impact the world for the better."

The Harvard Latino Leadership Program presents data that further proves Sage's points, stating that the "Latino community will double in size over the next 40 years and will comprise more than 30 percent of the United States population by 2050." Anthony Sages concludes, "The government needs to listen to the rising voices of America, and just as the Latino Leadership Program has done, help them discover the tools necessary to foster change in the modern world."
