Winston Scholars Discovering the Future

On September 27, College LAUNCH Scholars from the 2025-2026 Winston-Salem cohort, arrived on campus for their first Saturday Summit. Scholars had the opportunity to connect with staff, Youth Executive Leadership Board (YLEB) mentors, and fellow Scholars.

The day featured a variety of engaging activities, including icebreakers and team-building exercises to foster camaraderie. Scholars learned from Jalen Shell, Assistant Director of the WFU Intercultural Center, about identity and ways to connect with others over our similarities and differences, completed a communication activity, and learned more about writing a well composed college application essay. It was a day of connection, exploration, and personal growth.
