GCSA

GCSA was thrilled to participate in the Urban Assembly School of Design and Construction’s 3rd annual Pathways Symposium last Friday. It was a powerful day designed for students to explore diverse career options and college pathways while interacting with industry professionals and gaining insights through various panels and workshops.

GCSA helped organize a financial literacy workshop for seniors, led by Citizens Bank, which focused on college finances and navigating the FAFSA application. Later in the day, Citizens Bank also hosted a table at the afternoon fair to introduce students to various banking options.

Additionally, our own Charmain facilitated a 16 Personalities workshop for freshmen, providing them the opportunity to explore their traits, understand their strengths, and begin connecting those attributes to potential career paths.

Adding to the day’s impact, SDC alumni from the classes of 2022, 2024, and 2025 returned to campus to serve on a panel. It was especially meaningful to see them return not just as graduates, but as mentors sharing their experiences and insights.

Thank you to Jose Lee and Stephanie Almonte from Citizens Bank for supporting the students. We also extend our thanks to the SDC staff and leadership for allowing us to be a part of this impactful day.
