On January 12, students from the Gateway to College program convened for the annual Gateway Spring Summit. During the event, they heard testimonials from honor roll students like Anisa M., who provided insight into what it truly means to be a “finisher” of the Gateway to College program. Jachai May, another Gateway participant, urged students to continue their educational journeys beyond the program. During his speech, May proudly announced that he will graduate from the College this May and attend Temple University in the spring with a major in Business.
The Summit’s keynote speaker, Mr. Travis T. Wolfe, author, entrepreneur and motivational speaker, encouraged students to overcome their hardships, and focus on achieving success and fulfillment. Students attended breakout sessions, led by Gateway to College’s academic coordinators, that focused on topics of character building and honing strategies to reach their goals.
