Join AdvancED on a Saturday to unwind and unleash!

Mer has launched the Cali Consultant Brunch Series, a time for California consultants of color to debrief, divulge, delegate, and/or draw upon the energies and insights of the group. On the weekend.
Please share this with the consultants and allies of color in your ecosystem, especially those involved in social justice and grassroots community and advocacy projects in California.
There's so much going on and many of us have ideas on how to serve our communities, and we just need the thought-partnership or collaboration to go from idea to action. At the same time, perhaps you've been working all week and you also don't want to prep a PowerPoint or proposal, you just want to blah blah what's in your heart. Well, my friends, this is your chance!

AdvancED has scheduled two Cali Consultants Brunches with potential for future dates:

• Saturday, May 16 from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
• Saturday, June 13 from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

High school seniors have to make a choice soon about college. This special edition is about how we can support them.

Mer has published a blog series called Financial Aid, College Choice, and COVID-19.
​

• In the first article, Financial Aid, College Choice, and COVID-19, she describes the series and then focuses on a Tale of Six Colleagues.
• The second article is The Financial Aid Conundrum. Mer's study of this issue for almost 2 decades, coupled with partner Moneythink's research, insights from the last few months and COVID, are summarized here (we say summary loosely, it's a 13-minute read!).
• The third article is The Power of Student Resilience and Choice. Here, Mer highlights Moneythink's webinars, stresses their concept of affordability, and highlights Moneythink's tools.
• The last article is Supporting Students & Families through the Conundrum. Here, Mer directs messaging to students, allies, and colleges to support our students through this specific crisis, but also moving forward since this is a largely systemic and persistent problem for our students. Mer also stresses the importance of financial literacy and highlights a Paying for College curriculum thanks to Next Gen Personal Finance.
