Do you want to know what students in CV’s College Success Program are up to? Here’s a short roundup of some of the exciting news from our students!
2016 CV COLLEGE GRADS!
On May 24th, College Visions celebrated the college graduations of 33 first-generation college graduates who have completed the College Visions College Success Program and earned college degrees! These graduates are now among the cumulative 225 College Visions college graduates. Congratulations to the Class of 2016, we are so proud of you!
THANKS TO SOUTHWEST AIRLINES
Thanks to our generous community partner Southwest Airlines, College Visions is flying admitted students out to visit college this spring. Southwest also supports professional development travel for College Visions staff. Recently CV advisor Francesca and operations manager Joshua used vouchers provided by Southwest to fly to Washington, D.C. and participate in data training offered by the National College Access Network.
DONOR SPOTLIGHT: JIM OLICK
If you were ever wondering how College Visions has managed to help so many students get into college over the years, here is your answer. Our success is thanks to the amazing people that support College Visions on a day-to-day basis. Jim Olick believes in providing students with the right tools and resources to build a foundation in education that they may use throughout their lives. Thank you, Jim for supporting CV 100%!
WINTER BREAK WORKSHOPS
Each fall we send off a cohort of CV College Access Program graduates to schools throughout Rhode Island, New England, and beyond, but we don’t need to say goodbye. Instead CV advisors keep in touch with college students through the Kolajo Paul Afolabi College Success Program. Local students are always welcome in the CV office, and we reach out to farther flung students through phone, email, Skype, and in-person visits.
