Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Darvel Givens, Executive Director of Marching Against The Darkness Inc., and the visionary behind the Excellence Expo—an electrifying annual event in Waterloo that’s part college and career fair, part performing arts explosion, and all about student empowerment. This year’s Expo, happening on: Friday, October 17, at the Waterloo Center for the Arts from 1-5pm, is gearing up to be the biggest yet, bringing together colleges, employers, military reps, leadership trainers, and artists to help over 200 high school students map out a future full of possibility.
From leadership skills and financial literacy to drumline beats and dance moves, Darvel’s mission is loud and clear: give students the tools and the confidence to own their future. So let’s get into i —his journey, his passion, and why this event is so much more than just a Friday afternoon off from school. Let’s welcome Darvel Givens to the show!
