Last weekend, I visited my Alma Mater, Davidson College - recently ranked top 10 best college in the nation by The Wall Street Journal, Go Cats! As an alumni board volunteer, I had the awesome opportunity to meet with student leaders at the school. My aha? We, as alumni, are seen as beacons and torchbearers! Students seek our experiences so that our paths & accomplishments can serve as inspiration. This means as an alumni community, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to support students in achieving their full potential- woah. During our session, three key themes emerged: - The importance of providing vast visibility into alumni paths toward success. - The need for regional alumni presence during student showcases. - Access to insights on how previous student groups were managed, enabling current students to learn from both successes and challenges. Call to action?! Davidson alumni, get ready to be tapped and asked to plug in! Also, any international students who were able to successfully source internships to remain in the US post-graduation, please DM me. Your guidance is requested! -- Left to right: @Christopher Anosike, Mikayla Bowens, Danielle Dory Hyppolite, Brianna Burton, Rayna McKenzie, Stacy Miruka, Kasha Salia, Chris Burton, D.Min., Jalyssa Hobbs, @Daniel Thomas, Arielle Germeus.

The Better Futures Institute, in collaboration with the City of San Antonio, will host a series of conversations about the future of cities during the Civic Tech Scholars internship program. These conversations will focus on understanding the roles of public city officials, urban resilience, civic engagement, and the impact of civic technology and innovation in shaping the future of cities. We think of the future as something we all create together, not something that's already decided and waiting for us: The future is a group project. By creating spaces for dialogue and understanding the diverse needs of our communities, we're turning aspirations into actionable plans—come and help us build a future that benefits everyone. #BetterFuturesConversations Session 1: Urban Planning & Public Infrastructure This session will provide insights into the role of urban planning and public infrastructure in shaping a sustainable and resilient San Antonio, and explore innovative solutions and community place-making strategies that can enhance the quality of life for our city’s population. https://lnkd.in/gu72S6BR #betterfutures #betterfuturesinstitute #civictech #steameducation #stem

Young Men of Talent — Ensuring college degrees and workplace readiness for Black and Brown males. After a successful launch in the 2023-24 school year, the Young Men of Talent (YMT) partnership among CFES Brilliant Pathways, the University of Vermont, and community/business leaders is ready to build on its success in the 2024-25 school year. How does it work? YMT assists Black and Latino male students by providing academic, social, and professional networks that provide formal and informal mentoring, advice, and encouragement. Business and education leaders hold regular virtual and in-person meetings with YMT Scholars and help them obtain paid summer internships in their fields of interest. Older students who have recently navigated similar challenges serve as relatable mentors to younger peers. YMT students receive priority registration for college classes and preferential choice in academic advisors. To help them establish connections and build community, students also attend monthly dinners hosted by academic and corporate leaders. While the data is encouraging, it can’t begin to capture the program’s true impact. YMT has not only provided resources and support, but has fostered genuine excitement among participating students. They experienced firsthand that many people in academic and business circles care deeply about their success. See the full report on CFES Brilliant Pathways and the YMT program at https://lnkd.in/e4sv6X5W. Global leader CFES Brilliant Pathways, based in Essex, N.Y., has been helping underserved K-12 students from rural and urban communities become college and career ready for over 33 years.
