Public and Public Charter Schools. 💡 Stakeholders–including Deputy Mayor of Education Paul Kihn and PAVE (Parents Amplifying Voices in Education) representative Kisha Clark–provide insights on the reasons for student absenteeism and the ways in which schools and communities can promote attendance. ➡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/eF-mf33e

Did someone say summer camp? ☀️ A full slate of summer camp and pre-college intensives are coming to campus from June 16 – July 27. From cinema arts to business, there's something for everyone! New this summer is the opportunity for high school seniors and rising seniors who attend pre-college intensives to be eligible for a $1,000 scholarship in their financial aid package if they enroll at Point Park University as an undergraduate student. Students can earn two separate scholarships if they choose to attend summer camp before their senior year and the summer after they graduate. “Summer camps and pre-college intensives are a great way for students to explore their interests and find their passions,” said Vincent Rugani, director of Pre-College Programs. “These programs are instrumental in guiding students towards their next academic endeavor.” Register today ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/d9a_dkFT

🌟 Please join us in welcoming Jasmyn Robinson, M.Ed. to JCU! 🌟 Jasmyn is originally from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but came to Ohio in 2017 to go to Kent State University. She received her Bachelor's degree in psychology in 2021, making her the first in her family to obtain a degree. After a year off of school working as a registered behavioral technician, Jasmyn decided it was time to go back to get her Masters degree. She was accepted into the Kent State Higher Education and Administration program in 2022 and started as a Graduate Assistant in the Career Exploration and Development office, where she had the opportunity to provide career advising and teach a course called Career Navigation. Her second year in the program, she had another opportunity to be a Graduate Assistant for Student Success Programs. Jasmyn is grateful for all the experiences she had at Kent State, as well as all the wonderful people who have helped her along the way. She believes all her experiences have led her here to JCU, and she is thrilled to be here! Jasmyn's new role at JCU is as an Academic Success Advisor for the Boler College of Business. She is really looking forward to working with the first- and second-year students and helping them feel comfortable and confident in their educational journey here at JCU. Being her first week, she still has a lot to learn, but everyone has been so welcoming and helpful that it makes her excited to see what is in store for her career here at John Carroll University! #newhire #welcome #employeeonboarding
