This Semester’s Guest speakers

May 19

Written By Kara King

Each semester Elevate New York invites guest speakers from various professions to speak with students about their career, education, and personal experiences. Our guest speakers create opportunities for our students by introducing them to new potential career paths, sharing their post-secondary educational experiences, and their personal definitions of success.

Thank you for empowering our leaders!
