A huge thank you to Jackie Kostek of CBS Chicago for highlighting our Summer Academy program at Northwestern University, where one of our remarkable Scholars, Gabriela Veliz, was spotlighted for her boundless enthusiasm for learning. Like many of our Scholars, her passion and drive earned her a place in our 6-Year Program. Today, Gabriela begins her journey as a first-year student at her dream school, Yale. Reflecting on how she prepared for this milestone, she shares: “Yale is definitely a very high academic level and I know I’ve been [performing] at a high academic level but anything that can help me bridge that gap between high school and college is super important and will make my time in the fall a lot easier.” Gabriela credits Thrive’s support and the belief our team has in her for helping her recognize her strengths and potential. As the first in her family to attend college in the U.S., let’s cheer on Gabriela and all our Scholars embarking on their college journeys this fall. Thank you to our community whose unwavering support makes success stories like Gabriela’s possible. To our Scholars, your dedication to giving and achieving your best inspires us all. We’re here to ensure you T H R I V E! #ThriveScholars #FirstGenSuccess #EmpowermentThroughEducation

Thank you to The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation for your invaluable partnership and support! Your dedication to empowering our Scholars fuels their journey to success. We’re excited to see all they will accomplish as they continue their paths forward. 🎓 #ThriveScholars #CollegePrep #ScholarSuccess
Earlier this month, 170 local high school students completed Thrive Scholars inaugural BMO Thrive Academy - Los Angeles program at the University of Southern California. This intensive six-week college prep program, which includes over 350 hours of calculus and writing courses, provides high-achieving students of color from economically disadvantaged communities with the opportunities they need to thrive at top colleges and in meaningful careers. This year’s L.A. cohort of 170 students boasts an impressive 3.9 average GPA with 83% identifying as first-generation college-goers. Students we met shared how much they valued Thrive’s approach to integrating joy and curiosity into rigorous learning, the community and bonds they were building with their peers, and their professors’ continued emphasis that “seeking help is a smart choice.” Once these students enter college, they will participate in Thrive Scholars’ career pathways program, which includes one-on-one career coaching and transformative internship and job opportunities.

Huge thanks to GEI Consultants, Inc., Trammell Crow Company, and Portal Innovations, LLC for an amazing "Day on the Job" event at Fulton Labs! Our Thrive Scholars were thrilled to explore careers in STEM, learn about building design and construction, and tour the science labs. The incredible rooftop tour showcasing GEI's projects in the West Loop was a highlight. Partnerships like these are what empower our Scholars to envision and achieve their future goals. 🌟 #ThriveScholars #STEMEducation #FutureLeaders #PartnershipsInAction #ChicagoInnovation
GEI leaders hosted an interactive “Day on the Job” event for 40 Thrive Scholars along with our client, Trammell Crow Company and partner Portal Innovations, LLC. Designed to teach the Scholars about careers in STEM, the event was held at a life sciences building (Fulton Labs). GEI helped remediate the land the building sits on, designed the foundation, and managed the building through construction. Together, with our client and property manager, we showed the Thrive Scholars, how a building comes together from design to build to occupancy. The scholars also learned how GEI helps solve some of the most complex water and environmental challenges. The students toured one of the building’s tenants, a science lab, and learned more about the West Loop, an emerging area of Chicago that is incubating life science-focused start up businesses. While viewing Chicago from the building’s rooftop, they received a personalized visual tour from Geotechnical Project Manager, Darren Diehm, of GEI’s many area projects.
