"Our naming that aspirational goal [of 70 percent of working age adults having achieved a post-secondary credential] really is a rallying cry to say, irrespective of which one of those [underserved] communities you come from, you should be supported to have access to a post-secondary [education], to persist [and] thrive in that experience, and to complete that experience for your economic advancement.” - Elizabeth González, chief program and strategy officer at College Futures Foundation Join Eloy Ortiz Oakley, our president & CEO, and Dr. Elizabeth González, our chief program & strategy officer, as they discuss the why behind College Futures’ shift in strategy and answer questions about the year ahead and potential partnership opportunities.

I never envisioned myself getting involved in higher education, civic enterprise or economic development projects and events but when given the opportunity, I leaned in. Not having a degree aside Associate from The Community College of the Air Force, it was intimidating to say the least. But, there I was, being asked to lecture, lead and learn. Point being, credential and capability can be obtained a myriad of ways throughout life. Always turn over the rocks in your path and if someone happens to throw one at you, try to catch it instead of duck. It could be a foundational stone you did not know you needed. #transformationtuesday #eventdesign #experientialmarketing
