We are excited to wrap up the work week by welcoming Saleem Ghubril, Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Promise, to Business as Usual today. The Pittsburgh Promise promotes high educational aspirations among urban youth, funds scholarships for post-secondary access and fuels a prepared and diverse regional workforce. To date, more than 10,000 students have received $152 million in scholarships to pursue their academic dreams. Saleem will discuss how Pittsburgh Promise envisions a future where all our urban youth are equipped to reach post-secondary success, our public schools serve all children excellently, our city is flourishing in all its neighborhoods and our workforce is widely diverse and highly skilled to advance a region that is good and just for all.
