Earlier this month we had the opportunity to attend the U-M Ginsberg Center Student Showcase. Not only did we get to cheer on our amazing Ginsberg fellow Fiona, we also were able to share about our work with the other student leaders at the event.

Being around so many passionate students was a reminder of why our work is so important. We want to make sure as many students as possible in Washtenaw County get the opportunity to pursue their dreams through college or career training.
