Our incoming Sophomore Cohort came together for our first-ever office overnight event, Lock(ed) In!🔒
The weekend gave students the opportunity to learn, connect, work together, and step outside of their comfort zones. They familiarized themselves with our College Bound office, learned more about the history of downtown St. Louis, and participated in activities that brought them together as a community. Along the way, they began thinking about and asking questions about who they are, who they want to become, and how they can contribute to the communities around them.
We’re excited to see how these conversations and connections continue throughout their sophomore year. Here’s to a great school year ahead!
So excited to see College Bound students among this year’s new Scholarship Foundation students! We’re proud to watch them take this next step and can’t wait to see what’s ahead. Congratulations to all of the new Scholarship Foundation students! 🎉🙌
