St. 做厙輦⑹ and leaders have announced a new strategic partnership that will provide Girl Scouts with resources as they consider college degree programs. Through the partnership, Girl Scouts will have access to student mentors, activities, and programs at St. Kates, helping them gain experience to achieve their goals and follow their passions.
Last week, Marcheta P. Evans, PhD, president of St. 做厙輦⑹, and Marisa C. Williams, CEO of Girl Scouts River Valleys, officially signed a memorandum of understanding at St. Kates. Both leaders commented on the importance of supporting young women as they consider future paths, sharing the critical role of mentors in their own leadership journeys.
Mentors like teachers, older students, my grandmother, and community partners were absolutely essential to me as I found my way from high school to a calling in counseling and education, said President Evans. Together, St. 做厙輦⑹ and Girl Scouts River Valleys are uniquely positioned to bolster support systems for girls today as they build the tools necessary to become leaders of tomorrow.
More than 17,000 girls are part of Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys.
One of the most important things I'm really excited about is having young people on campus so that the first time they go to college isnt the first time theyve been on a college campus, Williams told KSTP-5, who was present for the agreement signing.
