Our founders, Elizabeth and Dave, recently hosted an intimate dinner at their cherished Akilah Villa. For over 15 years, this space has been more than just a home; it has been our office, a retreat center, and a gathering place to celebrate our graduates and staff.
These remarkable leaders are making their mark in fields such as hospitality, finance, data science, and education. The enduring friendships forged on campus continue to thrive, a testament to the lasting bonds formed during their time at Akilah and Davis College.
It is both a tremendous accomplishment for our team and an incredible celebration for our community. It is also a moment to acknowledge the significance of our next steps as an institution. Read more: https://t.co/09EJhomZAQ
In the past year, more than 800 young women have graduated from our institution.
Despite the setbacks and immense challenges presented by the global pandemic, this is the largest number of students we have graduated in such a short space of time in our institution’s history.
We’re pleased to have hosted the #YouthSeriesxDavisCollege on campus last week, an event that gave insight to our community of young and aspiring entrepreneurs on how to build a successful business as a #womaninbusiness ⭐
In a room so familiar, with faces I recognize, a room I often went to for inspiration in events such as the #YouthSeriesxDavisCollege, being back @AkilahInstitute / @DavisCollegeEdu to share my story was an honor.
#Young lady; I DARE YOU. Go after what you are passionate about!
We look forward to hosting this event - under the theme “Women and Entrepreneurship: Experiences and Insights in Building Successful Businesses” - in partnership with @USAIDRwanda @NgurizaNshore on 31st May, 3pm-5pm. See you there!
