More than half of today’s jobs won’t exist in 20 years. At the core of Make Way is our solemn societal responsibility to educate young people and prepare them for the immense amount of change ahead.

We need to cultivate the best and brightest minds to take on the challenges we face today and will tomorrow. Also, I personally am concerned about the wealth gap in our country. Education is one of the most reliable ways of helping people reach self-sufficiency and financial security.

Make Way is about more than access to a WashU education. We have a bold vision to ensure all our amazing students live up to their potential. By investing in the student experience, we will provide all students with what they need to succeed, whether that’s mental health support, career counseling, internships, financial literacy or leadership development.
