I had an excellent experience at the #CSforAll conference in Milwaukee. I am eager to investigate potential partnerships and collaborations aimed at broadening participation and improving computer science education and workforce preparedness. I extend my gratitude to the Council for Opportunity in Education and Marquette University EOP for this opportunity.

Yesterday, I was honored to spend time with Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Jill Underly, Secretary of Workforce Development, Amy Pechacek, and Congresswoman Gwen Moore to discuss the opportunities for college completion and career development for WI youth. I was grateful for the chance to share more about the All-In Milwaukee program and success statistics. Thank you to Maureen Hoyler and the Council for Opportunity in Education for coordinating this roundtable and for believing in the All-In Milwaukee model and scholars. It was an honor to have All-In Milwaukee staff, scholars and graduates as a part of the CSforALL conference to highlight the vital role of tech career pathways to ensure Milwaukee students succeed in the workforce. Let's get to work Wisconsin and invest in scholars and programs with a proven track record to ensure a future diverse workforce!

I’m Honored to have been invited to attend the #Executive #Leadership Institute (#ELI) hosted by the Council for Opportunity in Education at Yale University! It’s inspiring to connect with other #inclusive leaders who are as #passionate as I am about changing the world through education and opportunity. Yes, the journey is challenging, but each step brings us closer to creating opportunities and empowering the next generation. I’m grateful for the chance to learn, grow, and collaborate with individuals who share the same commitment to building a more equitable future. In these moments of hard work, I’m reminded that progress isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable when we come together with hope, vision, and an unshakeable belief in the power of education. Here’s to embracing the challenges, celebrating the wins, and pushing forward for a brighter tomorrow! #Leadership #Education #Inclusion #COE #TRIO #Empowerment #FutureForward #EMU #Michigan #TRIO #SSS #HigherEducation #College #StudentSuccess #Grant #StudentServices #FirstGen #LowIncome #Disability #TRIOWorks #Retention #Persistence #Completion #Belonging #AcademicAffairs #StudentAffairs #Access
