Lead to Succeed Meet Ups had an
awesome kickoff today. Students gathered in the Lead to Succeed office in
the morning, and parents were invited to join them for a continental
breakfast. Petra Duecker, Director, did a brief overview of Lead to
Succeed for the parents, highlighting college and career readiness activities
and service learning goals. Then, the students headed over to UWM's
School for Urban Planning and Architecture, where they heard from renowned
professor Nancy Frank. Professor Frank's talk was focused on water
infrastructure in Milwaukee, and why water is so critically important in the region.
After SARUP, the students walked to the admissions office at UWM, where they
learned about some of the things to consider when picking a college. The
day wrapped up with a tour of UWM given by UWM students.
Bryson Rome-Martin from
Destiny High School received the big Meet Up award for earning the most Lead to
Succeed points - of all the students in the program! His prize? A
$50 Amazon gift card.
