e-Newsletter | June 2022

Greetings Belinda,

It's the final countdown! June is a big time for transitions where we not only say hello to our new class of scholars but also see many of our CASP fam members take the next steps after graduation. For some, it may be going into the workforce or continuing their education. For others, it may be a time of rest in which they explore what they wish their next step to look like. Regardless, we know that our students will be going out into the world to change it for the better and make an impact in their communities.

We are so honored to have been a part of your journey and to see what you have accomplished! Know that you will always be a part of our CASP family and look forward to seeing what you will accomplish!

We have lots of upcoming events around the corner so make sure to read through our newsletter for more info!
