Happy Juneteenth! We thank @whitehouse for sharing

Happy Juneteenth! We thank @whitehouse for sharing this statement, and as a #StudentCentered organization, we uplift it. After the Union Army captured New Orleans in 1862, slave owners in Confederate states migrated to Texas with more than 150,000 enslaved Black persons. For 3 years, even after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved Black Americans in Texas remained in brutal bondage, immorally and illegally deprived of their freedom and basic dignity. On June 19, 1865 — over 2 years after President Lincoln declared all enslaved persons free — Major General Gordon Granger and Union Army troops marched to Galveston, Texas, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation and free the last enslaved Black Americans in Texas.

Those who were freed from bondage celebrated their long-overdue emancipation on June 19. Today, our Nation commemorates Juneteenth: a chance to celebrate human freedom, reflect on the grievous and ongoing legacy of slavery, and rededicate ourselves to rooting out the systemic racism that continues to plague our society as we strive to deliver the full promise of America to every American. #Juneteenth #OpalLee

We celebrate and congratulate William Kibler of Ce

We celebrate and congratulate William Kibler of Cesar Chavez High School in Laveen Arizona, on being named a 2022 CTCL Counselor That Changes Lives! His nominator shared that it's his mission is to ensure his students know about higher education options beyond their backyard. His faculty bio says he is focused on preparing students for college, career, and life. While he teaches a full array of AP social studies courses and coaches the Academic Decathlon team, he is motivating and encouraging post-secondary dreams by creating spaces for their confidence, dreams and world view to grow. William opens his classroom to college admission counselors, prepares students for interviews and edits resumés that really highlight students’ generational and cultural strengths. He identifies and connects with schools that will care about his students; places that will see them as individuals with unique and sometimes complicated histories. And then he gets his students in front of those schools, by arranging transportation to college fairs, setting up school day meetings with admission officers and introducing them to competitive scholarships.

We celebrate and congratulate Delia Olmos- García

We celebrate and congratulate Delia Olmos- García as she is named a 2022 CTCL Counselor That Changes Lives! 👏🎓As the Program Director for the Willamette Academy, an out-of-school college access program housed on the @ctclcolleges member institution, Willamette University campus, Delia devotes herself to creating and sustaining collaborative relationships with school counselors, students, program alumni and families. She understands that this network of relationships will empower students who may not see themselves as college bound and help them to directly address the real and perceived barriers they face. Because she recognizes the power of this peer-to-peer guidance, she charges program alumni with facilitating workshops and serving as mentors.
This world changer knows that creating community is critical, especially for students who are mostly from populations that are historically excluded in higher education.
