EP 83- Marilyn Gilbert-Mitchell, Empowering 1st Generation College Students

 Some of us may have taken our college experience for granted, but for many Americans, college can seem out of reach. Plenty of things can stand in your way, including what family and what neighborhood you were born into. But is it really true? Is college really out of your reach?

Marilyn Gilbert-Mitchell's expertise is empowering first-generation college goers, students from lower socioeconomic households, and/or those attending schools in urban environments or underserved areas. 

Her impact includes elementary to high school and college students across backgrounds, grades, and academic levels with a career of supporting leadership teams and schools in nearly thirty states and two countries. Using skills, experiences, education, and training from diverse environments, Ms. Gilbert-Mitchell is committed to students and their college goals that lead to graduation.
