Dean’s List and Mentor

For her brilliant academic performance, PowHERful scholarship recipient Sally Thomas made the Dean’s List at Lehman College (CUNY) this past semester. 

Further, she’s been asked to be part of the college’s Mentor Collective. She’s excited to mentor new students and help them navigate college, from class selection, study and remote learning, to the personal challenges that will be inevitably faced. 

Sally is inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr.’s exhortation to ‘Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.’ “I’m thankful for the foundation's faith in me,” Sally says, “and am looking forward to the top of my staircase!”
