August 2016 Connections

Nola Weinstein (2001) hosted a #CokeScholarsPro professional networking event at Twitter in New York City.

Sharing advice from her experience as Head of Executive Engagement at Twitter, Nola helped our Scholars create their personal brand using the platform.

After almost a year of developing a model with the Center for Creative Leadership, several alumni volunteers along with all Foundation staff members were trained to learn how to support Scholars as they transition to college, explore engagement opportunities on their campuses, and set and work towards a personal goal. Learn more about CCSF’s new coaching pilot.

In addition to the CCSF staff, the alumni Coaches pictured above are Angela Harrell (1991), Anita Kishore (1995), Jamie Lathan (1996), Albert Lawrence (2003), Christina Marshall-Valdez (2001), Nekeisha Randall (2004), Samorn Selim (2000), Joe Semsar (2005), and Sarah Williams (2011).
