What an honor to work with a National Board of Directors who sees the importance of relationship building that is nationally relevant but locally focused and led @CISNational
25 Mar 2024
@CISNational does such important work in so many of our nation’s HS- their impact drives up graduation rates, and increases student attendance for students who have a history of chronic absenteeism.
Relationships change lives.
So appreciate Ray Saldana’s leadership!

Today we honor the memory of Rosalynn Carter. It was First Lady Carter who saw the need for CIS, recognized our work, and propelled us forward to where we are today. We are eternally grateful for her advocacy for educational equity and countless humanitarian efforts worldwide.

Thanks to @HarvardHBS for invitation to present a @CISNational case study exploring our Alumni support. The force behinds this is @cisatlanta leader Frank Brown, who participated in program last year, and attracted attention of professors. 👀 Snuck in my @StanfordAlumni tie👔

Black, brown & indigenous student’s potential & value can be lost if we do not acknowledge the representation gaps that exist on some of our most competitive college campuses.
I count myself as one of them.
I don’t believe I would be leading @CISNational if I had not been…

accepted to a selective university that opened new doors of opportunity. We want this for all young people we serve, to get the chance to show the world we have what it takes to compete in the classroom, boardroom, or halls of power. Full statement: bit.ly/44dCZyF

🗣 "I was a sophomore walking the halls here... I didn't know what CIS was. I knocked on the door and met Ms. Reyes, who is the reason for me – in many ways – getting to see a future that I hadn't ever even thought of for myself." – @rey4sa, @CISNational

Affirmative action was an acknowledgement of history & modern day gaps in access to higher ed for black, brown and indegenous students. It's been key to educational opportunity for young people forced to run a longer race on thier path to HS graduation. We remain #AllinForKids
