This year's NASPA Comference on Student Success in Higher Education served as a great opportunity to learn, grow, and engage. Being surrounded by over 1,700 change agents was impactful and invigorating as I prepare for the upcoming academic year. #SSHE24.

I had an amazing time earlier this week engaging fellow champions of postsecondary access at the 2023 NCAN Conference. It is imperative that we advocate for educational equity...our future depends on it! #collegeaccess #ncan2023

A new cohort of Gateway Scholars attended a week of workshops and participated in activities to get familiar with Wofford's campus. Learn more about the impact this program has had on other Wofford College students:bit.ly/44JNpWy #gatewayscholars #terriers

The 2023 iCAN Spartanburg Summer Institute is always a great opportunity for high school Citizen Scholars to gain a unique experience on a college campus while preparing for college entry. I had a great time engaging with this year’s group and looking to the upcoming school year.
