Brigadier Gen. Lorna Mahlock, the Chief Information Officer of the Marine Corps, networks after a closing luncheon plenary during Thurgood Marshall College Fund’s (TMCF) 18th Annual Leadership Institute in the District of Columbia, October 29, 2018. Marines connected with influencers and students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities through a series of classes, student interview panels, workshops and lectures during the conference. The Marine Corps’ enduring relationships with HBCUs and other associations committed to serving diverse communities allow MCRC to share its message of aspirational opportunity with leaders from the highest echelons of education. During the luncheon, Mahlock discussed Marine Corps leadership traits and principles and the personal battles that Marines win every day. (Marine photo by Lance Cpl. Naomi May)
