Join us to run, walk, or stroll this Saturday, September 24th for the 4th annual Virtual 5K for Kolajo! We will be honoring the memory of beloved son, brother, friend, scholar, and runner Kolajo Paul Afolabi. Kolajo was also a College Visions board member with a strong commitment to first-gen students. It has been 5 years since his passing and you honor his memory by supporting the students he believed in and worked so hard for, so thank you!
*UPDATE: The College Visions Board of Directors has offered a $2,500 match when Kolajo donors reach the goal of $7,500. Thank you so much to all who have already given! If you have yet to give, your donation can get the 5K for Kolajo to our $7,500 goal and raise a total of $10,000 for the Kolajo Paul Afolabi College Success Program! Thank you!

“Not only do I have College Visions advisors always looking out for me and reminding me of important deadlines, I’m also in this program with other first-gen students that I see on a daily basis so kind of go through this college struggle together which is cool.”
Julian Santiago, University of Rhode Island ‘18
