DALLAS - FORT WORTH TUSKEGEE ALUMNI CLUB

LXCL:The Dallas-Fort Worth Tuskegee Alumni Club fosters community and supports students pursuing education at Tuskegee University. Through scholarships, fundraisers, social and service events, we celebrate the legacy of Tuskegee and empower our future leaders.

Welcome to Shaping Your Destiny: Your College and Career Journey Starts Here! College comes with a lot of questions. What should I major in? What does that career actually look like day to day? How does admissions really work? And most importantly... HOW are we paying for this?&nbsp; The Shaping Your Destiny Lunch &amp; Learn is back again to provide DFW area students with answers to these questions. 🎓 COLLEGE TO CAREER PANEL: Before picking a major, students need to see where it leads. Our panel brings together professionals in: &nbsp;Veterinary Medicine, Architecture, Biology, Supply Chain Management, Aerospace Engineering, and Health Science. They&#39;ll talk honestly about what it took to get there and what they wish they&#39;d known before starting college. 📋 ADMISSIONS 101 with Dr. RELIUS &quot;RAY&quot; JOHNSON: Dr. Dr. Johnson is a higher-education and Student Affairs leader whose career has centered on student success, engagement, assessment and the college transition experience. He currently serves as Director of Data Analytics, Training &amp; Assessment for Student Affairs at The University of Texas at Dallas and previously led New Maverick Orientation at UT Arlington, including orientation programs for entering freshmen and other new students. That means families are learning from someone who understands what happens before students arrive on campus AND what helps them successfully navigate college once they get there.&nbsp; 💰 SCHOLARSHIP WORKSHOP WITH GABRIELLE MCCORMICK: What if your student approached scholarships with an actual strategy instead of simply searching and hoping? Gabrielle McCormick knows firsthand what scholarships can make possible. She graduated from college debt-free with both her bachelor&rsquo;s and master&rsquo;s degrees and shares that scholarships and other opportunities are helping fund her doctoral education. Today, she serves as Chief Education Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Scholarship Informer and has built her work around helping students and families understand how to make college more affordable. Three parts. Two expert presenters. One afternoon that can genuinely change how students and parents approach college and pay for it. For Students: FREE. This event is our gift to you as you prepare for your future!For Parents: A small registration fee of $15 helps us provide food and beverages for everyone. With limited sponsor funding, your fee covers additional lunch and refreshments. We can&#39;t wait to see you there and be part of your journey toward success. Let&#39;s shape your destiny together!

For those who are not familiar, The Exchange is a food hall, so attendees purchase their own meals and can eat whatever sounds good. Bring the kids, this one is family friendly! There&#39;s no cost to attend. We&#39;ll have games and prizes throughout the afternoon, and financial members will receive a drink ticket and a special holiday swag bag.&nbsp; Please RSVP as it helps us get an accurate head count and make sure we have enough games and prizes for everyone.&nbsp; If you&#39;re interested in helping to shape the day, there&#39;s a volunteer checkbox before submission. We need help with decorating the space, managing check-in, and pulling together the games and prizes. It&#39;s a light lift, but an important lift!
