Bridging the gap for first-gen and underrepresented college students.
关于我们
? Introduction ? The Social Capital Academy (SCA) is a short-term, high-impact program that bridges the opportunity gap and opens career doors for first-generation and underrepresented college students. SCA relies on dedicated volunteers (Career Mentors/Career Experts) and actively involves junior-level college students as they embark on their career journeys. Our main goal is to support our students by providing them with the skills, confidence, and real-time social networks necessary to secure internships and full-time positions with leading companies. We believe this truly levels the playing field and empowers our students to become successful professionals and role models in their communities. ?? How does it work? ?? SCA is a virtual four-module not-for-credit program that links junior year college students to active professionals in their fields of interest. It is a virtual ecosystem made up of students, professional mentors, instructors, and program resources! ?? How do we know it works? ?? Students who have participated in SCA have formed meaningful bonds with mentors, sharpened their goals, and achieved internships and scholarships. Our IRB-approved longitudinal survey study demonstrates significant improvements in career decision-making, mentoring, job seeking behavior, and networking self-efficacy. ?? Join us in making a difference! ?? By donating to Social Capital Academy, you are investing in the next generation of innovators, managers, doers, and leaders. Help us build a bridge for these students to achieve long-term career success and economic mobility. Together, we can transform lives and create a brighter future. Join us in our mission today!

Congratulations to our very own, Sarah Lopez, MD, MBA and her continued work to promote equity in healthcare! ?? Dr. Sarah Lopez is an incredible example of resilience and our SCA students get to hear her story firsthand as she walks us through her own coat of arms in Module 1. While resilience is a part of all of our stories, it's about how we use the challenges presented in our lives to move forward and Sarah has masterfully been able to use resilience in her life as a driving force to keep a forward momentum throughout her career. Congratulations on all your accomplishments, Sarah! ?? Read more: https://lnkd.in/gwiTa6qK

I recently read a post that was "liked" by many on LinkedIn of a young woman who shared the linear progression of her achievements seen by others, with a detailed outline of the rejections and turmoil she experienced privately. Nothing has been linear about my professional journey, and I assume that most of us have experienced the same thing (based on all the likes the post received). This in essence is resilience. We keep going despite the rejections and failures we are regularly experiencing, but there is always forward momentum. As a child of Mexican immigrants, I have witnessed the strength and resilience of my community which has been a major driver in moving forward after every rejection. This beautiful story is linear... but life is always win-dy. I wanted to thank Dean Ian O. Williamson for giving me an opportunity to share my professional journey in the University of California, Irvine - The Paul Merage School of Business alumni journal. For having the vision that academic institutions should be reflective of the community they are a part of and serve that community well. A special thanks to Leah Walton for making space to have meaningful conversations that lead to this article...you are wonderful at your craft. https://lnkd.in/gk_kstuD "making a difference...for healthcare in the future." #womenshistorymonth #womeninmedicine #womeninbusiness
