REACH Prep

We're proud of Anthony C. from Cohort 22, a recent college graduate from the Wesleyan University class of 2026.

Anthony was a double major in Economics and Studio Art, and received High Honors and Wesleyan's Jessup Prize (1990) for his studio art thesis, "COWBOYHOOD," a documentary photography project on Black equestrian and rodeo cultures in Oklahoma, Texas, and Connecticut. His thesis was published in the spring print issue of Harvard's Undergraduate Art Journal. Click the link to view: https://sites.harvard.edu/harvard-undergraduate-art-history-journal/cowboyhood/

We're excited to see what Anthony will accomplish next!

Last month, REACH Prep high school scholars attended our annual college visit field trip. Students toured Franklin & Marshall, Haverford, University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton.

The opportunity to visit these campuses and meet with current REACH Prep college students is an essential part of our college guidance programming. The group had lunch with University of Pennsylvania students Shanika from Cohort 20 and Solon from Cohort 24, and Isabella from Cohort 24 at Princeton. The 10th and 11th grade students left the trip with a better understanding of what goes into the college decision process and the transition to college experience.
