It's Walk, Bike and Roll to School Day! Did you know that in 2002 the Minnesota Youth Council partnered with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to create the Minnesota Safe Routes to School Youth Partnership Resources & Action Plan?

🔍 Analyzing Target Medical Schools: A Strategic Approach for Pre-Meds I recently came across this insightful infographic from the University of Michigan Medical School, showcasing a snapshot of their admitted applicants. For all the aspiring doctors out there, such data can be invaluable in guiding your choices during your crucial pre-med years. A few takeaways: Prioritize Experience: Notice how many more hours successful applicants dedicated to working with underserved populations, compared to roles in student government. Diverse Interests Count: From social justice to performance arts and even athletics, holistic experiences seem to resonate with admissions. When time is of the essence, and the medical school journey is competitive, channeling your energy into high-impact areas can make all the difference. Make informed choices, and leverage insights like these to strategize your way into your dream school! 📚💡 #PreMedLife #MedicalSchool #StrategicPlanning #FutureDoctors

As I prepare for North Texas Giving Day, I think about all the important, interesting, and researched information that I can share about why the mission of Move the Runner is so passionate and relevant to me. Linda Flanagan has authored an insightful contribution to this conversation that I must share! Take Back the Game Flanagan delves into a national obsession that has done many things including reduced access to sports for low-income families. The status of #youthsports, #specialadmissions for athletes, and #collegepipelines are current issues with real implications for #firstgen families. The challenges are pervasive and until we can create reform, Move the Runner is working to provide financial and educational #extraordinaryopportunities to low- and income-restricted families to play ⚾️🥎 and apply to college.
