Excited for tomorrow's Northern California College Promise Coalition (NCCPC) Convening for Champions of Higher Education Equity in California! With over 185+ registered, this event is set to be a dynamic platform for discussing the state of education and economic mobility in California. Will we see you tomorrow?

(Roundtable discussions) 🔹 Brooke Millan, in partnership with Kaysi Holman from 10,000 Degrees, will share vital organization and program initiatives that prioritize DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). 🔹 Veli Waller will dive into SRA's strategic changes to our program application, putting students at the center of our application process. Make sure to check them out! Let's continue to drive positive change in education and economic mobility together.
