Excited to learn from courageous California Community Colleges that are busting siloes + working together in new ways to support students. May their early wins + struggles guide the way for other teams!Much gratitude PhaseTwoAdvisory for diving into the real-time work + elevating insights.

Exciting day for College Futures Foundation as we look ahead to Eloy Ortiz Oakley’s fearless leadership and thank Monica Lozano for fiercely leading us here.

This week's episode of #CafecitoconMAF is for the students in Zoom school who had to balance class, work, and family — all during a pandemic. @Aprilyeephd of College Futures Foundation shares more on #CafecitoconMAF: missionassetfund.org/cafecito-con-m…

Humbled to partner w MAF who showed me just how much we in the #HigherEd sector can learn + grow from working w orgs deeply embedded in communities. They know students as family/community members first, bring new lens + tools to make racial + financial #equity real.

So excited to share that an excerpt from the new Introduction of #FreedomDreams by Robin D.G. Kelley is up on Boston Review . Link is below! aja monet Beacon Press bostonreview.net/articles/twent…

🚨 New report out on race and dev ed reform #AB705 at California Community Colleges Check it out: uscrec.info/report-ccc Funded by College Futures Foundation in partnership w/ Complete College America | CCA, the report spotlights how leaders centered racial equity during implementation.

Everyone, let’s take 5 minutes to dwell on this fact: 20 million beautiful human beings will have $0 of debt. We’ve moved mountains. Only a few more Himalayas left to go 😀

PSA for Bay Area friends: you have one month to witness the magic of ✨#GODDESS ✨ future Tony award-winning musical (mark my words) @BerkeleyRep. I promise your soul will be filled as mine was tonight. datebook.sfchronicle.com/theater/review…

What a joy to learn from and lift up California Community Colleges leaders who support their students as whole humans, always and especially in 2020-21. May these stories fill your cups as you fill others’ cups every day. We see your light and we thank you for shining. ✨✨✨

There is no other gathering like an A2MEND Summit. It is an abundance of wisdom, joy, and community care that affirms the best of what higher education can be: life-changing and liberating. #resurrecting #blackstudentsuccess

Professor Christopher Emdin of USC Race and Equity does not need any external validation of his #ratchetdemic #scienceGENIUS or Divine Assignment, but I must testify that those of us at the A2MEND Summit today were literally blessed to bear witness to his BRILLIANCE.✨

📣Funder friends: please join me in attending this powerhouse panel! We need critical colleagues to hold us accountable for advancing racial justice & to resist any comforting beliefs that philanthropy is doing enough.

I believe college students deserve to be seen + valued, not just as FTEs or degrees, but as humans deserving of care. ❤️This report lays out how #HigherEd can show care, support student wellbeing + thriving: Do more of what helps students' mental health + less of what harms it.

I had the pleasure + privilege of chatting with Drs. Tiffany Herbert + Lindsay Perez Huber about what community care can look like on campuses. Let's take responsibility for students' #mentalhealth and create systems where students thrive, not just persist + survive.
