What an unforgettable day at our LAUNCH and Learn! 2025 celebration. During LAUNCH! we celebrated the incredible achievements of our graduating high school seniors as they prepare to take flight into their college journeys. Our keynote speaker, Dannyelle Austin, Executive Director, Launchpad, engaged with our students and challenged them to think about their futures and how they plan to take up space in the world. Thank you to our Symposium speakers Heather Cuffie, Assistant Vice President, Senior Relationship Banker (M&T Bank), Angelo Moultair, Bank Manager (M&T Bank), Alicia Anderson, Dean of Students (St. Paul VI Catholic High School), and Lual Charles, Senior Manager of Institutional Partnerships & Grants (REDF). Hosted at Temple University, this event was filled with inspiration, joy, and endless possibilities. Here's to the Class of 2025—your future starts now!

Over Spring Break, we provide multiple campus visits for students to come see what each local university has to offer. This year, we went to Community College of Philadelphia 🦁Temple University 🦉, and Drexel University 🐲

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors were able to walk around campus and explore, listen to valuable information through presentations, and connect with current students to have all their questions answered.

Thank you Laurie Barrow and Phil Nuewiarowski from CCP, Nadiyah Timmons and the Klein College of Media and Communication from Temple, and our own College Possible student Chayapha Punsuk and her friend Samara from Drexel for all your work and support on these visits and letting us on your campuses.

We had a blast and look forward to future visits to come!

At this week's session at the Academy at Palumbo, our students broke up into groups, researched colleges, and presented what they found. It was great to see which colleges they chose, what facts they learned, and how this will help them in the college application process. Colleges presented included Temple, NYU, and Reed College. Our coaches Lauryn and Carrie were great facilitators, supporting the students as they shared their presentations. After-school sessions are great ways to learn, grow, and develop skills.

Yesterday, we visited Arcadia University with 54 students from 4 of our partner schools. Students were taken on a tour of the university, had a panel discussion with current students, and enjoyed lunch in the dining hall. It was great for students to see the campus, learn about majors, study abroad, campus life, scholarships, and what Arcadia has to offer!
