Katie Kuka is our VP and she is new to the CCFW scene this year, but has long been in the poverty-fighting space at Notre Dame's Lab for Economic Opportunities. She believes so deeply in CCFW's mission to end poverty, her Indiana roots gladly puts up with the Texas heat. A master of excel and order, we're excited to have Katie in our orbit.

Our CEO, Heather, was headed to a meeting when a familiar story came running down the hall. Jazmin, a former Stay the Course student, stopped her at the elevator to say thank you and share what life looks like now:

Working for the City of Fort Worth. Finishing her Master's degree this December. Still cheering on the next generation of first-generation college students.

We spend a lot of time talking about outcomes, but were delighted when this one stopped us at the elevator. We are so proud of you, Jazmin!
