1 个月Thank you to our host Bank of America and everyone who came to support the mission and sign up for role model sessions for the coming school year. As a long time role model I can attest to the difference it has made in my life, as well as the students I’ve had the privilege to share my story with. And a special congratulations to the HISPA fellows, some of whom are now joining us as our youngest role models.
