If you didn’t get a chance to join us at our spring lunch and wish to join hundreds of fellow alumni who are saying yes to access and opportunity, you can make your gift here. Your generous donation will enable us to continue meeting our scholarship needs. The 2025 Essential and Emerge cohorts kick off in September.

Your commitment helps foster the development of future leaders in our community, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to thrive.
