It is that time of year again when high school seniors and their parents are thinking of their post high school education. Regardless of the their educational choices, the cost is going to be enormous. High School Seniors are actively applying for scholarship help in their communities. Many community service organizations offer scholarships. And, in many cases, those that excel in their high school studies and on the ACT & SAT exams usually have the inside track to receiving those scholarships. Here is a Rotary club in Texas that takes a slightly different approach to selecting students for the scholarships they offer. First of all, to qualify, students need to belong to their club sponsored Intereact Club. Why, because Interact provides the student experience that reinforces Rotary's focus on service to others, promoting integrity, advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace as student leaders. The other unique feature of their scholaship is the post high school educational institution the students choose to attend can include 4 year programs, 2 year programs and trade schools. They want students to choose a school that will advance their chosen vocation. Check out the story below. This clubs scholarship is intended for Senior Interact club members at Fred Moore High School and Lake Dallas High School in Denton and Lake Dallas, Texas. As a Rotarian in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, my hope is that more organizations that award scholarships adopt a similar approach to selecting their scholarship recipients.

Effective school principals play a crucial role in shaping a positive school environment. Impactful leaders in schools contribute to the enhancement of the school climate, increased teacher satisfaction and retention, and positive outcomes for students. To make a lasting impact on a diverse student body, school leaders must commit to addressing structural barriers to success through an equity-based approach. Educational inequities persist across schools, with students of color encountering challenges such as higher suspension rates, racial discrimination, and systemic barriers hindering their success. Principals are pivotal in addressing these issues within schools, working towards eliminating the perpetuation of such inequities. Join The Hunt Institute and Wallace's Rotunda Floyd-Cooper as we engage in a conversation about the significance of equity-centered school leadership and how its implementation can transform our schools into better environments for all students.

??? Let’s talk about diversity in college sports leadership! I recently presented on the Lack of Diversity in NCAA Administration Roles, Power 5 Head Coaching, and HBCU Athletics Funding—and the findings are alarming. With DEI efforts under fire nationwide and a new administration in place, we must ask: ?? What will a Trump presidency mean for minority coaches and athletics staff? The numbers speak for themselves: ? ~10% of NCAA admin roles are held by people of color. ? Power 5 head coaching remains overwhelmingly white. ? HBCUs face chronic underfunding, limiting their ability to compete. Diverse leadership isn’t just a checkbox—it’s key to inclusivity, innovation, and fairness in college sports. But without action, the progress we’ve made could vanish. ?? What do you think? How can we protect and advance DEI in sports during these challenging times? #DEI #CollegeSports #Leadership #HBCU #DiversityInSports
