REACH Prep

We hosted a 'Building Your Professional Brand on LinkedIn' workshop for our college students earlier this month.

This was designed to help scholars prepare for their next step by giving them practical LinkedIn updates, language they can use to describe their experiences, and tools to start networking with more clarity and purpose. We focused not just on creating a profile, but on helping students recognize the value of their experiences and communicating who they are with confidence.

The workshop was led by Imani Sherrill, a REACH Prep alum from Cohort 13 and Management Consultant at Accenture Federal Services. Imani graduated from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in Political Science and Economics and earned her Master’s in Public Policy from Georgetown University.

We're grateful for Imani's support running this workshop, and look forward to seeing how successful these students will be as they plan for their careers.

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!
