For the last 15 years, the team at The Pittsburgh Promise has had "shoulder to the wheel" removing barriers that prevent Pittsburgh's urban youth from gaining post-secondary credentials that improve their economic mobility. So far, we have supported 11,600 students from 16 high school classes (2008 through 2023) and we have committed to supporting another 5 classes (2024 through 2028). The private sector in Pittsburgh -- individuals, companies, and foundations -- have demonstrated their commitment to our city's kids by giving more than $254 million to provide scholarships for them. We are now working on raising the final $11 million to honor our commitment to the class of 2028. The private sector cannot do this alone. Now, we are shifting our focus to finding solutions through better public policy that undergird every child in Pennsylvania's 500 school districts, and ensure they have access to affordable post-secondary credentials that put them on a path toward economic self-reliance. Stay tuned! https://lnkd.in/grZf6Fya

Provost's Weekly: I met with a major university about a possible program partnership this week. Given the current trajectory of higher education, an institution-to-institution partnership is crucial. I agree with Scott Galloway that most higher education institutions in the US are highly leveraged and stretched beyond their means. A picturesque campus with an athletic complex for a second-tier university is not sustainable for business. One of the first things I used to teach my students is everything is about business, including nonprofit groups. If your business can't support its operations, it will fail. That holds for all higher education institutions including public schools like West Virginia University. To make it through the next 50 years, all higher education institutions need to reevaluate what they offer, be responsive to demands, and control costs. #sustainableeducation #highereducationleadership #nonprofitmanagement #ppp

At the SSU Development Foundation Board retreat, we focused on reviewing the outstanding impact Shawnee State University has made in the community and the trajectory of the University into the future with state of the art facilities, community revitalization projects, athletic programs taking off with International and National recruits, and adding Masters program to the curriculum. As more and more students and parents start to focus on the ever important ROI from the higher education dollars they are spending, SSU continues to be voted as one of the most efficient Universities in Ohio, with 88% of students qualifying for financial aid, low tuition costs, but good return on investment for training and developing the workforce of the future. A highlight that should stick out to any potential student "Lowest Student Debt." Shawnee is helping advance our workforce without having them start off behind stuck in overwhelming student debt that cripples their future. #workforceofthefuture #GoBears #universities #returnoninvestment #highereducation #effective #efficient

The St. Louis region has an amazing ecosystem of concerned and invested citizens. Seventeen (17) of these folks took the next step in fulfilling their civic duty by signing up for -- and successfully completing -- our inaugural School Board Fellowship (SBF). These awesome individuals have invested their time and energy in understanding and preparing to serve on a school board and are poised to make an amazing impact. The School Board Fellowship focused on four key things: 1. Building a network of like-minded public education advocates, 2. Learning about the education landscape in St. Louis and how to support public education, 3. Understanding how to be an effective school board member, 4. Supporting our fellows to join a charter school board, run for elected school board, or pursue other opportunities. As one of the fellows reflected, "The group of people in this cohort make me really excited because they are all so engaged, and they all have completely different backgrounds. I am optimistic that we can impact change regionally by taking the time to question and understand where the disparity lies and better understand not just how to address disparity...but how to be more equitable with resources and engagement.“ For more information about our school board fellowship visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gQKP-kJf #SBF #SchoolBoardFellowship #StLouis #Volunteerism #CommunityService #BoardService #Education #STLEducation #StLouisPride #CivicLeadership #SchoolBoardFellowship #SBF #CommunityImpact #EducationLeaders #InvestedCitizens #STLRegionalEducation #BoardGovernance #EquityDriven #LeadershipDevelopment #MakingADifference #CommunityService #JoinTheMovement #EducationAdvocates #LeversforSuccess #EmpoweredCommunities #FellowshipJourney #OpportunityTrust

“The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that students who have completed some college, but did not earn a degree make about $935 a week on average. Meanwhile, an associate degree increases weekly pay by about $70 more a week.” We love to see inclusive initiatives supporting students in all phases of their postsecondary education journey!

Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) bridges the corporate and academic worlds, developing partnerships that align business objectives with the University’s strategic initiatives. As an Advancement professional, we help facilitate access to student scholarships, industry expert faculty and researchers, high-tech facilities, market-ready technologies, and opportunities for investment in transformational programs. This work takes a village and corporations and foundations are very much a part of that community. What an honor for Penn State Brandywine to host the Fall 2023 CFR Regional Roundtable supported by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). We had 55 Advancement professionals representing 36 institutions from PA, NJ, and DE with the goal of uniting the impact of philanthropic foundations with the wealth of university expertise and solutions through opportunities that bolster research, teaching and outreach mission. It is great to be amongst peers (and friends) and break silos by sharing our collective experiences, solutions, and ideas to enhance student outcomes and the value proposition of higher education. #highered #CFR #advancement #development #corporategiving #foundations #fundraising #CASE #education #access #WeAre #PennState

Fort Valley State University (FVSU, formerly Fort Valley State College and Fort Valley Normal and Industrial School) is a public land-grant HBCU in Fort Valley, Georgia. It is part of the University System of Georgia and a member school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Fort Valley State University is the state's 1890 land-grant university and enrolls over 2,500 students. Approximately 90% of the student body is of African-American descent. The average age of undergraduates is 24 and the average age of graduate students is 33. Roughly one-third of the students live on campus and 85% of the student body are full-time students. The university is located in the town of Fort Valley in Peach County, the original site of the state's peach industry. Its 1,365-acre campus is Georgia's second-largest public university in the area. Fort Valley State University (formerly Fort Valley State College) began with the 1939 (November 6, 1895) consolidation of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School (chartered in 1895) and the State Teachers and Agricultural College of Forsyth (founded in 1902). The Fort Valley High and Industrial School, affiliated with the American Church Institute of the Protestant Episcopal Church, was transferred to state control and operation. Under the agreement, the work formerly carried on at the State Teachers and Agricultural College was consolidated with the work at Fort Valley High and Industrial School to form the Fort Valley State College. In 1947 the state Board of Regents adopted a resolution moving the "land grant" designation from Savannah State College to Fort Valley State College. In response to the Regents' resolution, in 1949 the Georgia General Assembly officially designated the Fort Valley State College as the Land-Grant College for Negroes in Georgia. Public education was segregated at that time. The school became Fort Valley State University, a state, and land-grant university, in June 1996, and is the second largest land-grant institution. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #hbcu Fort Valley State University

Education is powerful. It transforms lives. Check out this article about the legacy of Providence St. Mel School and its impact in Chicago:
“I don’t recall exactly the first time I saw the lawn outside Providence St. Mel School, or Paul J. Adams, III—the man responsible. It must have been sometime in 1974—back when Afros and bell-bottom pants were signs of the times and the struggle to lay hold on the American dream still seemed ever elusive for Blacks in America… What I do recall clearly is the notion that grass wouldn’t—couldn’t—grow on the West Side: too poor, too ghetto, too far from the fertile soil from which sprouts the stuff of American dreams.” In this blog post, originally published by Providence St. Mel School alum John W. Fountain, learn how one man’s perseverance, vision, and determination to serve some of Chicago’s most disadvantaged students became the legacy of our grantee partner, Providence St. Mel School: https://lnkd.in/eN8P42Dv #johnsonscholarship #providencestmel #educationforall #chicagoeducation #equalopportunity #chicago #westside
