Can’t wait for our Appalachian GEAR UP teams to meet and engage with all of these partners doing great work across the country to support student postsecondary success! #gearupworks #npsibelieves

Dr. Joyce Brown is the real deal ya’ll! One of the best advocates for school counselors, hands down! 💕🎓#npsibelieves #gearupworks

I can’t recommend this enough!!!! If you’re remotely interested in learning more about education policy in NC, this session is a place to get all the updates! Huge thank you to Public School Forum for doing this work. 🙏

A year in the making…🙌🙌🙌. There is power in establishing a vision and seeing the long view. Grateful to work with a partner like National Postsecondary Strategy Institute who is willing to see the long view with us.

Day 2 of the National Postsecondary Strategy Institute National Convening is off to a great start with our Appalachian GEAR UP partners and a host of other school districts from across the country! #gearupworks #everystudentready

Our Appalachian GEAR UP team at AppState RCOE #believes in the power of postsecondary education and the @NPSI_Believes22 convening was a great reminder of that! Grateful to be a part of this national network of likeminded schools who are committed to making #everystudentready.

You know it's going to be a great day when it starts with a field trip! Before cohort members settle in for Day 1 of our #CTLI & #ElevateNC joint meeting, we took a morning tour of the NatCivilRightsMuseum in Memphis, TN.

Sending this round of applause to ALL #HigherEd students, near and far 👏🏻 Before our student panelists share their perspectives, Dr. Shawn Boyd of @SCORE4Schools and our #CTLI and #ElevateNC cohort members give them a warm welcome!

We are so grateful to have this rockstar group of #HigherEd students with us for our Professional Perspectives discussion today. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and helping keep #HigherEd’s future bright! #CTLI #ElevateNC @SCORE4Schools

Super pumped to be joining forces with #CTLI for session #2 of #ElevateNC in Memphis, TN. Got to meet some incredible Memphians, including Kennedy, a college senior, who shared her enlightening perspective on how COVID has impacted college student experiences. The Hunt Institute

#ElevateNC and #CTLI started the day in a powerful way at the NatCivilRightsMuseum, and I was thrilled that my son got to join us!
