Teach for America Alumni Panel

From site: Career Center OLD

Teach For America (TFA) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to close the academic achievement gap between children from different socio-economic backgrounds. Teach For America relies on the teachers they recruit to carry out their mission: to ensure that "One day, all children will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education." The goal of TFA is for its "corps members" not only to make a short-term impact on their students, but also to become lifelong leaders in pursuing educational equality. A panel of Alumni will be on campus to speak about the organization.
