KEYNOTE SPEAKER DEANDRE CARTER For the past 18 years, those who have been exposed to his dynamic success strategies have recognized DeAndre Carter as a motivational force. Witness to the rough ins & outs of the City of Detroit’s harsh streets, filled with poverty and the need for change, while molded by the roughness & hustle of Joy Rd., DeAndre Carter has longed to inspire and demand greatness from himself and those around him. From his days as an organizer while a student at Cody High School, DeAndre began to motivate other students to make a change for the better and strive for success. After graduation, this followed him to Michigan State University where as a freshman, he chartered a weekly—email based—motivational newsletter for students, and organized an assembly of former Cody graduates who were currently attending colleges across the country, to go back to Detroit to speak to Cody High students about reaching for the stars. During the summer after his freshman year of college, DeAndre hosted his first conference, inspiring teens to pursue educational excellence. He also customized a program for Lansing Middle School students at Gardner Middle School entitled Max-Q, to inspire students to improve academic performance & exit rate, a program that modeled students the entire school year. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Marketing, DeAndre returned to Michigan State University in the fall of 2005 to cofound The Advantage, a dynamic student-driven organization designed to help students make the most of their college experience, while raising the retention rate, and thus graduation rate of underprivileged and minority students. DeAndre developed a mission to empower members and encourage them to attain a high level of academic, personal, and professional success at Michigan State University and beyond. Since then, he has been working at his alma mater as an academic adviser and course instructor since 2006, while continuing to inspire students to achieve their dreams. A proud member of Toastmaster’s International, and district champion in the Toastmaster World Championship of Public Speaking, DeAndre’s unique brand of speaking makes him a hot commodity on the speaking circuit. By mastering the skill of inspiring, educating, & entertaining his audiences, DeAndre has been able to influence people to take specific actions and steps toward achieving personalized goals. DeAndre’s audience ranges from business professionals to collegiate communities. 8 2015 Intercultural Student Leadership Conference • Office of Multicultural Affairs
