Mayor Cherelle L. Parker will announce the new Illegal Dumping Taskforce at a press conference scheduled for 1:30 PM on October 23, 2025, at 10th and Courtland Street.

Later that day, Parker will join Lincoln University's Homecoming celebration at 6:00 PM, which marks the 100th anniversary of The Lincolnian, one of the oldest student newspapers in the country.

She will deliver remarks highlighting Lincoln's profound influence on her education and leadership trajectory.

Parker's attendance reflects her commitment to supporting educational institutions that shape future leaders. These events illustrate her ongoing dedication to community improvement and heritage recognition in Philadelphia.
