WHO: Point Foundation provides financial support, mentoring, leadership training and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized due to sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Speakers:

Point's Executive Director & CEO, Jorge Valencia

Point Alumnus, Ben Harvey – Harvard University

Miller submitted her letter of resignation to West Point Military Academy last month. While she ranked ninth in her class, Miller revealed she is a lesbian and resigned due to the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. She has since gained media attention, including being interviewed twice by Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC TV show. Earlier this month, Miller escorted singer Lady Gaga to the MTV Video Awards in Los Angeles.
