ended with a bang! We were joined by Molly Kellogg for Learning LinkedIn, Savannah Lane for a Running for Office Simulation, and Rosa Barrientos-Ferrer for Immigration Policy. We are so grateful to those who volunteer to support PLEN, and it was great to have two alums from our friends at Running Start join us!

With that, the 2025-26 school year of in-person PLEN programming comes to a close, but keep an eye out for details on our upcoming Mentor Awards! Thank you to Verizon, all of our volunteers, and our amazing STUDENTS for a great seminar!
