"One thing that's been so nice about working with FutureMap is that typically when we outsourced programming, it was not with groups that focused specifically on first-gen students -- with FutureMap, there's no learning curve there."

Gayle Meyers

Dir. of College & Alumni Programs, The Schuler Scholar Programs

"I found all the sessions very helpful. I appreciate the emotional resilience one the most because I felt like I was getting burned out from applying to jobs and places for a long time. I narrowed my search and was able to find jobs that fit in my scope and skills set which was great. I loved that we connected with a lot of the folxs on the Zoom. It was a reminder that [as] AWU scholars we are a network and can help support each other.

Paradyse Oakley

Scholar, All Ways Up Foundation

"“I thought that the imposter syndrome and microaggressions session was important as an undergrad who will probably continue to experience these things not only in a school setting. Overall, I feel like I gained confidence knowing that there is a venue to address these concerns and that these feelings are valid.”
