We’ll be joined by Reshaud Rich of Partnership for the Future and Tamice Spencer-Helms of Sub:Culture for a discussion on college readiness for students. \nMENTOR Virginia will virtually host Community Coffee Hour every 2nd Wednesday of the month with mentoring program staff to create space for peer-to-peer learning and resource sharing\, and to address issues you and your organization might be facing during the pandemic and beyond. We hope to see you at an upcoming Community Coffee Hour! \nRegister to attend! \nMeet Our Guest Speakers: \nReshaud Rich is the Senior Director of Programs at Partnership for the Future. His professional experience in college access includes several years with GEAR UP Virginia at the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia\, three summers as an Upward Bound Peer-Tutor Counselor and two years with the Virginia College Advising Corps. \nReshaud is now responsible for leading initiatives that support high achieving\, low to moderate income high school students to secure full-ride\, merit scholarships in an effort to decrease the wealth gap. Reshaud’s interests include independently publishing books that promote continuous learning and intellectual growth among those that devalue a post-secondary education.  As a high school student\, Reshaud was a recipient of ACCESS College Foundation’s services and a student of his local Upward Bound. Reshaud earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Virginia\, a post-baccalaureate in business administration from Virginia Commonwealth University\, and a master’s in educational leadership and foundations from Old Dominion University. \nTamice Spencer-Helms\, the founder and CEO\, is a visionary leader committed to serving young adults. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006\, she has dedicated her career to connecting with Black college students through culturally relevant programs. Together with other innovators\, she co-founded the Atlanta-based Kingdom Collaborative\, bringing together HBCU campus practitioners and establishing six student-led chapters. \nIn her role as the Senior Director of Student Leadership & Engagement at Virginia Union University\, Tamice taught religious studies and was instrumental in creating the Panther Food Pantry. At MENTOR Virginia\, she wears the hat of Learning Facilitator and Curriculum Developer. There\, she is pivotal in training youth mentors on diversity\, equity\, access\, and inclusion.
