- Why I enjoy being a part of ERIE21:
ERIE21 enables me to contribute to the growth of the region and assist in preparing our young residents to not only find a job here but to make an impact here. As a first-generation college student, I’m drawn to this position because it provides pathways to assist students academically, socially, and personally – all areas that are essential to the successful navigation of the college-to-career journey. I see ERIE21 as an initiative to alter the how and why of college education – to create new pathways for student and regional progress. As someone excited about Greater Syracuse, I want to help ERIE21’s evolution. - Connect on LinkedIn
