Give Day 2022 Impact
Thanks to the generosity of donors, we raised approximately $1300 to provide scholarships for seven students to participate in the Career Preparation course taught by our career counselors. One of the recipients shares her positive experience in the class:
“Throughout my college education, I have never taken a course that created a more supportive and encouraging atmosphere. This course allowed me to learn more about myself and find a career that aligns with my true values.”
~ Marymarie W., Senior, Environmental Science
