Closing the access and opportunity gaps for students of color in DMV independent schools, one connection at a time. @CONNECTdmv: "Creating Opportunity"
If I've learned anything in my 27 years of helping students, it's that talent is more widely distributed than advantage. I'd love your help closing that gap. Please consider meeting me in a challenge grant for the great work of @collegetracks@connectdmv. https://t.co/roPz21GmvG

Mustangs,
Definitely an event worth checking out! As you approach the college process, this is a great way to gain perspective and information on attending a PWI (Predominately White Institution) as a person of color. Thank you, @CONNECTdmv! #McLeanDEI#McLeanSchool
