Last week was , and we’re excited to spotlight an important member of Student Leadership Network’s admin team! ⭐

Meet Melissa Dias, IT Operations Manager at Student Leadership Network.

As IT Operations Manager, Melissa ensures that Student Leadership Network’s technology infrastructure is always running smoothly. Her role involves managing platforms like Google Workspace, Salesforce, and JumpCloud, coordinating with vendors, overseeing cybersecurity and compliance, and supporting staff through onboarding, training, and tech transitions. On any given day, Melissa might be troubleshooting a platform issue, rolling out a new tool for staff, or setting up systems so that Student Leadership Network’s programs staff can focus on the students and alumni they serve without missing a beat.

“Every student Student Leadership Network serves depends on systems that work reliably behind the scenes. When technology runs well, program staff can focus entirely on what matters - guiding young people toward college and opportunity. After 13+ years at Student Leadership Network, I've seen how much the right infrastructure can amplify our reach, and I take pride in being part of the foundation that makes it all possible.” -Melissa

This , we're proud to spotlight Jordan Velazquez, a Community Resource Leader for Buffalo Public Schools. Jordan is a regular presence at South Park High School; Community School, a CollegeBound Initiative (CBI) partner school.

Working alongside Kayla Powell, Senior Manager of College Access Services at Student Leadership Network, Jordan is committed to the students and families he serves, and regularly attends financial aid events, FAFSA completion days, and more.

"That opportunity to meet with parents when I volunteer with Student Leadership Network is the perfect way to break the ice and also connect them to the community resources that I manage. When I work with Kayla to help a family apply for financial aid or figure out what meal plan or dorm works for them, it’s very fulfilling to help that child prepare to enter the adult world." -Jordan

Thank you, Jordan, for the lasting impact you make on our shared community!
