We're sending a big Richmond Promise congratulations to our friend Cynt Marshall with the recent news that she'll be retiring as CEO of the Dallas Mavericks at the end of the year. Getting a chance to host Cynt at UC Berkeley and celebrate our RP Scholar graduates was a highlight of our year, and we appreciate her taking the time to uplift Richmond's next generation of leaders! Congrats, Cynt on behalf of everyone at Richmond Promise! #richmondpromise #richmondca

Over the past few weeks, our Scholar Success team has been busy visiting campuses around Northern California and the Central Valley, and last week the team made a stop at Berkeley City College! Our Campus Network Leader, Alexis, shared helpful resources and led a painting activity while RP staff got the chance to chat with and find out more about our current BCC Scholars. We were also joined by our friend, Dri Regalado from The Puente Project, who provided access to more BCC resources and some words of encouragement for our RP Scholars. For our BCC Scholars who aren't yet part of the Society of Scholars, you can find more info at https://lnkd.in/gP5CtaWN. Thanks to all who joined us, and thanks to Alexis for coordinating the event! #richmondpromise #richmondca
