Their Voice, Their Choice: Redefining College Readiness for Texas Foster-Care Alumni

Just in time for the end of our third FAST Academy, my colleagues -- Dr. Shawnda Smith (mathematics) and Ms. Amy O'Keefe (CARE) -- published this program feature in Insights for College Transitions, a publication of the National Resource Center at the University of South Carolina.

In the piece, we explore the challenge of college readiness and the high degree of support our program scaffolds in for these incredible scholars. I hope you'll read, and write to me if you have any questions about this summer bridge program and all the good that has come from it (jhelliott@twu.edu).
