With much cheer (and a little sadness), we graduated eight scholars this recent Spring Semester! Scholars, Mentors, WHW Honorees, & Board Members came together to celebrate the end of the semester and our brilliant graduates at Twickenham Advisors.
Following our WEDCF graduation traditions, each graduate received a leadership book which reminds them to never stop learning. In addition, and most likely more coveted, they each received their own strand of pearls, symbolizing their strength of perseverance and the nuggets of wisdom they've gained along the way to earning their college degrees.
In addition to our eight graduates, we also highlighted two scholars who received their Associate's degrees and are continuing on with the WEDCF while they work toward their Bachelor's degrees. Scholars also received Participation Bonuses for full attendance at the Spring Workshops and Academic Bonuses for Spring semester GPAs at 3.5 or greater.
The graduation celebration was hosted by the WEDC Milestones at Twickenham Advisors for the second Spring in a row. We were extremely thankful for the beautiful balloon backdrop donated by Purposefully Divine and the fun photo booth donated by KCL Pictures!
