All this month we’ve been visiting campuses and passing out Persist Success Boxes (and totes). It just our way of showing our appreciation for our students and helping them PERSIST through the year. Each package contains candy, Persist merch, a planner, and pens! Thank you to Double A Prints for creating our totes and the fine folks at McNeely Brockman Public Relations for updating our logo and website ✨ #GuidancetoGraduate
