Singer Mary J. Blige Announced As Keynote Speaker At 2010 Disney’s Dreamers Academy

Superstar Mary J. Blige has been announced as the keynote speaker at 2010 Disney’s Dreamers Academy with Steve Harvey. The singer, producer and actress will speak at the academy’s commencement Ceremony, which acts as a graduation ceremony for the students.

The Innovative Learning Environment at the Walt Disney World Resort will bring in 100 nationwide high school students to attend the seminar. The event will be held on February 11 through February 14 and is working in partnership with nationally syndicated radio personality Steve Harvey.

The students will get a chance to have unprecedented access to the magic behind Disney’s resorts, featuring topics such as “the unseen jobs of entertainment” to “the business of sports” to “the power of networking.”

“We are very excited and truly honored to have Mary J. Blige as our Keynote Speaker and all of our celebrity participants,” said Tracey Walters, executive champion for Disney’s Dreamers Academy with Steve Harvey. “This year, Walt Disney World is celebrating the volunteer spirit of families throughout the country; and their words will hopefully inspire our students to think about their dreams as conduits not only to help themselves achieve, but to help others as well.”

“Each year we strive to find young people who may have a will or passion, but may not have the courage to explore their dreams,” said Harvey. “So we hope to unlock the power that will allow them to pursue their heart’s desires. Walt Disney World and I both are excited to be a part of these young dreamers experience that will encourage them to bring their dreams to life.”

Other celebrities that will be speaking at the academy include R&B star Cupid, actor Roshon Fagen of “Camp Rock,” CNN correspondent Christopher Lawrence, actor Daniel Curtis Lee (“Disney’s Zeke & Luther”), songstress Kimberley Locke, actors Chris (“Zoey 101″) and Kyle (“Cory in the House”) Massey, actress Tamara Mowry (“Sister, Sister”), producer Will Packer (“Stomp The Yard”), singer Ruben Studdard; gospel group Trin-i-tee 5:7, and celebrity trainer Harvey Walden. Sherri Shepherd, one of the co-hosts of “The View,” will return to host the celebrity conversations.
