The ceremony will take place on December 13th at 10:00 AM and will mark a significant moment in the lives of our graduates and the broader community.
As the president and CEO of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), Rev. Arline-Bradley is a powerful voice for social justice and advocacy.

Beyond Solutions, a dynamic firm specializing in public health, organizational strategy, and government affairs, including serving as senior advisor and director of external engagement in the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General under the Obama administration, where she collaborated closely with Dr. Vivek H. Murthy.
Rev. Arline-Bradley has over 21 years of extensive experience in healthcare, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). She is uniquely equipped to inspire the next generation of leaders. Her passion for public service and commitment to equity have established her as a formidable advocate for change. Additionally, she is a proud member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rev. Arline-Bradley to Livingstone College as our Winter Commencement speaker,” said Dr. Anthony J.
