Braven invites you to join us virtually for conversations and Q&A with some of our higher education and employer partners, a volunteer Leadership Coach, alumni and our team. We have set up a choose-your-own adventure three-session Lunch and Learn on March 6th where you and your colleagues are welcome to attend some or all of the sessions - each of which will leave plenty of time for Q&A.  

The Lunch and Learn will feature three panels: 

  • Session 1: Higher Education Partners such as Dr. John Gunkel, Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at Rutgers University Newark, Dr. Venetta Coleman, Director of Institutional Effectiveness and Director of the Quality Enhancement Plan at Spelman College, and Nichole Knutson, Associate Vice Provost of Student Success, will discuss their experience partnering with Braven in a session moderated by Aimée Eubanks Davis, Braven’s Founder & CEO.

 

  • Session 2: Kate Gebo, Executive Vice President of HR and Labor Relations at United Airlines (an Employer Partner), Dr. Ronda Westry, Assistant VP of Retention and 1st Year Program at Alabama State University (a Volunteer Leadership Coach at Spelman) & Braven SJSU alumni will share their perspectives.

 

  • Session 3: Braven's Chief Product Officer, LaNiesha Cobb Sanders, will do a deep dive into Braven's curriculum and the Braven Fellow experience from start to finish.

 

We look forward to engaging you in meaningful conversation with our wonderful partners. For more information about Braven’s impact, please visit www.braven.org.

 

Braven supports Fellows from college to career by partnering with higher education institutions and employers to offer a two-part experience that begins with a credit-bearing college course followed by a post-course experience that lasts through graduation. Fellows emerge from Braven with the skills, experiences and networks they need to land a strong first job and get on a path to economic freedom. Braven has worked with more than 6,000 students nationwide across 8 institutions of higher ed and 5 regions. Higher education partners include Lehman College, Northern Illinois University, National Louis University, Rutgers University-Newark, San José State University, Spelman College, Delaware State University, and The City College of New York.
