🌟 Empowering the Next Generation! 🌟 We had an incredible Women in Entertainment networking event last week! Our WIE mentees honed their networking and social capital skills through dynamic role-playing exercises and engaging roundtable discussions.

We had a blast at BBBSLA’s first-ever College PAC Social! With over 30 amazing attendees, including parents, Bigs, middle and high school Littles, and our awesome college PAC mentees, the night was nothing short of groovy! 🕺🌟 Thanks to the vibrant atmosphere at Pigeon's Roller Rink , everyone learned new skills, bonded, and strengthened relationships across our programs. It was a perfect mix of fun and support, highlighting our College Preparation, Access, and Completion (CPAC) program. 🎓 Our CPAC program is designed to support our mentees' transition into and maintenance of their college status. Through active support, resources, scholarships, and workshops, we provide the academic, personal, and life management tools needed for our Littles to succeed in their educational journey. 🌠📚 Thank you all for making this event an unforgettable experience! 💖 #BeBigLA #CollegePAC #MentorshipMatters

This past weekend was an incredible experience partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles (BBBSLA) for their annual Beach Day. Aristotle employees and their families participated alongside BBBSLA for a full day of beach activities and an exciting sandcastle competition for 36 BBBSLA matches. As a leader focused on organizational culture and impact, I am proud to see our employees uphold one of Aristotle’s core values by giving back to our community. Contributing to such a meaningful organization and witnessing the positive impact firsthand was truly rewarding. #AristotleGivingBack #CommunityService #BBBS #BBBSLA #BeachDay #VolunteerwithPurpose
