🚨‼️OPPORTUNITY ALERT: Applications are now open to become a Hazel M. Johnson Fellowship partner organization for Summer 2025! This Summer at our end of fellowship retreat our talented cohort of early-career professionals enjoyed a weekend of environmental connection, fun, unity, and belonging. Grounded in nature, fellows reflected on their summer where they worked full time internships at top companies in the climate sector, enjoyed career development programming, and built life long communities at a retreat marked by joy, adventure, and optimism. We are excited to come back next summer even bigger and better, as we grow the cohort and collaborate with more partner organizations. Share this video with your favorite climate and environmentalist organizations! BGE’s historic Hazel M. Johnson (HMJ) program launched in the Summer of 2024 to attract, support, and sustain the critical voices missing from the environmental movement. Why? Despite people of color bearing the brunt of the climate crisis and making up nearly 40% of the U.S. population, an industry ‘green ceiling’ remains, with people of color only making up 12-16% of the workforce. Within academia, the same, systemic issues are apparent. In 2021, a mere 138 Bachelors Degrees in Environmenal Science were awarded to Black women in the U.S. That’s unacceptable. Black women and gender-expansive environmentalists are crucial to ideating and implementing the innovative, holistic approaches we urgently need to solve our shared, triple planetary crisis. That’s why BGE is building a Black, ‘green’ workforce pipeline by providing HMJ fellows with paid environmental internships, dedicated mentorship, and ‘green’ career retention strategies. And we’re more passionate than ever about continuing and expanding this career program by and for Black Womxn environmentalists to benefit our community, our movement, and our planet. Decision maker?

Check out this amazing panel about postsecondary success that includes our Class of 2016 alum, Danny A.!

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.

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the EAWOP Summer School 2024 for Early Career Scholars. It was an incredible experience, filled with inspiring speeches from esteemed academics in work and organizational psychology, along with the opportunity to present my current research. Three key moments left a lasting impact on me. First, Prof Roberta Fida's lively speech on moral disengagement challenged us to think critically about how individuals rationalize unethical behavior, sometimes automatically and without much conscious thought. Second, the thought-provoking reflections with Belgin Okay-Somerville about our careers. We explored deep questions, such as 'Why are you where you are now?', a powerful reminder to reflect on our personal and professional journeys as we strive to build academic careers as early career scholars. Third, Rob Briner's reassuring message that it's OK to be confused: 'If you're not confused, what's wrong with you?' These words resonated with me, emphasizing that uncertainty is a natural part of the process. Special thanks to Ishbel McWha-Hermann, Kristina Potočnik, and Tom Calvard for organizing such a fantastic summer school!

IDAG x AAMA Took Our Kings To The Lawrence Hall Of Science at CAL. They Were Exposed To Paid STEM Internship Opportunities This Summer, Attended A Berkeley Lab Application Workshop, and Watched A Black History Presentation, Took A Tour Of The Bio Lab, & Conversed With A Professional Scientist. Furthermore, We Had a Very Interesting Discussion on Grid Balancing, Decarbonization and Climate Adaption. #UCBerkeley#Laboratory#DJI#STEM#Education#Exposure#Drone#Technology#AAMA#IDAG#OHS#OUSD#Science#Student#Development#WorkBasedLearning#Grid#Balancing#Decarbonization#GlobalWarming#ClimateAdaptation#Energy#FlexLab

250. The number of First Gen Scholars we serve on an annual basis. 6,000. annual total of first-generation, low-income students in the County of San Diego who meet the requirements to apply for a four-year university, each with the potential to make a significant impact. 50%. The percentage of first-gens each year in San Diego who DO NOT apply for this opportunity. If you were the first in your family to go to college, we hope that the stories that our Scholars resonate with you.The question to ask yourself is… what if YOU had First Gen Scholars…where would you apply? Where would you attend? This fall, while we have 16 Scholars from all over San Diego attending Ivy Leagues, Stanford and USC (almost all on full rides), what we are most proud of is that 8 out of every 10 of our Scholars are on track to graduate with no debt! Our summer program is fully funded by the school districts, we have made a promise to support our Scholars year-round. In addition, we have over 700 Scholars currently in college that we continue to support. Our goal is to create that talent pipeline to fulfill the 20K priority sector jobs so that scholars may have thriving careers and build generational wealth for their families.You can play a pivotal role in supporting First Gen Scholars by donating today. https://lnkd.in/gwte4czD The 250 students we serve each year represent just a fraction (1/24th) of the San Diego students who are eligible and deserve the opportunity of a higher education. If you are a local San Diego Company or organization, we are developing a more robust high school and college internship program and we would love to meet with you to see what that partnership could look like. Thank you for your support. A special shout out to the LOCAList San Diego and Fox 5 San Diego for highlighting us, and to John Lee and Venture X San Diego for allowing the use of your beautiful space. #FirstGenScholars #TheFutureIsFirstGen
