En oto\u00f1o de 2021, nueve estudiantes de la escuela secundaria DREAM Charter High School llegaron a East Harlem para una sesi\u00f3n informativa con el Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico de Rochester (RIT). En colaboraci\u00f3n con Don Truesdale, miembro de la junta directiva de DREAM y expresidente del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de RIT, la universidad se encontraba en las primeras etapas del desarrollo de un programa piloto de "cohorte", en el que dos estudiantes de DCHS podr\u00edan asistir juntos a RIT y apoyarse mutuamente durante su trayectoria universitaria.<\/p>\n
El grupo de estudiantes de \u00faltimo a\u00f1o que asistieron a la sesi\u00f3n informativa del RIT \u2014Deon Jeffrey, Emanuel Binett, Jaden Bright, Kelvin Arredondo, Mamadou Ndiaye, Nasir West, Zakaria Sakhi, Abdul Tariq Macauley y Victor Sanchez\u2014 estaban comenzando sus tr\u00e1mites de solicitud de ingreso a la universidad y quer\u00edan saber m\u00e1s sobre lo que la universidad del norte del estado ten\u00eda para ofrecer. Lo que nadie esperaba era que esa sesi\u00f3n informativa rutinaria les brindar\u00eda una oportunidad \u00fanica en la vida.<\/p>\n
\u201cNunca hab\u00eda estado en una sala con estudiantes de secundaria que demostraran tanta dignidad y respeto por el proceso\u201d, dijo Ian Mortimer, vicepresidente de admisiones del RIT. \u201cTen\u00edan mucha curiosidad por los programas, la cultura y la experiencia. Estaban muy bien preparados en cuanto a c\u00f3mo conceb\u00edan su futuro, y me qued\u00e9 completamente impresionado\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mortimer supo enseguida que quer\u00eda que los nueve estudiantes del programa DREAM asistieran al RIT. Pero para lograrlo, era necesario reformular y ampliar el concepto de cohorte, establecer una alianza formal con DREAM y aprovechar los recursos de su consolidado programa de apoyo a la educaci\u00f3n superior. Entre el RIT, DREAM y Truesdale, se elabor\u00f3 un plan para brindar no solo asistencia financiera a cada uno de los nueve estudiantes, sino tambi\u00e9n el apoyo acad\u00e9mico, social y personal que necesitaban para tener \u00e9xito y graduarse.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmbas partes coincid\u00edan en que el objetivo de este grupo era que los estudiantes completaran sus estudios universitarios\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Katie Doctor, Directora General de Estrategia Educativa y Datos de DREAM. \u201cQuer\u00edamos dise\u00f1ar este programa de manera que maximizara el \u00e9xito estudiantil\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nGracias a la colaboraci\u00f3n con RIT, se refuerza el apoyo a los nueve estudiantes de la cohorte, un modelo que podr\u00eda formar parte de los planes a largo plazo de DREAM para el \u00e9xito en la educaci\u00f3n postsecundaria.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Una asociaci\u00f3n formal con una universidad como RIT, que tiene una estructura cooperativa que enfatiza la finalizaci\u00f3n de los estudios universitarios y la obtenci\u00f3n de empleo, se sinti\u00f3 como el siguiente paso natural en el trabajo de DREAM para garantizar que todos los estudiantes puedan cumplir su visi\u00f3n de \u00e9xito. Hace m\u00e1s de una d\u00e9cada, DREAM fund\u00f3 su programa Legends Fellows para apoyar a los ex participantes de Harlem RBI a medida que se embarcaban en sus trayectorias despu\u00e9s de la escuela secundaria. Durante seis a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de la graduaci\u00f3n, este programa proporciona recursos como visitas al campus, paquetes de ayuda, asistencia acad\u00e9mica, ayuda financiera, redes profesionales y mentor\u00eda a los estudiantes en edad universitaria a los que sirve. Desde la fundaci\u00f3n de DREAM Charter High School en 2017, el programa ahora trabaja con el personal de la escuela para brindar apoyo a los estudiantes para y<\/em> Durante sus estudios universitarios, y en el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o, DREAM ha puesto a prueba "Close the Gap", un enfoque sistem\u00e1tico para encontrar y financiar las opciones universitarias que mejor se adapten a las necesidades de los estudiantes.<\/p>\n
Gracias a la colaboraci\u00f3n con RIT, se refuerza este apoyo para los nueve estudiantes de la cohorte, un modelo que podr\u00eda integrarse en los planes a largo plazo de DREAM para el \u00e9xito en la educaci\u00f3n superior. La cohorte no solo contar\u00e1 con asesores y coordinadores de programa dedicados tanto de la universidad como del programa Legends Fellows, sino que tambi\u00e9n participar\u00e1 en un programa puente de verano, una oportunidad para familiarizarse con los estudios universitarios y la vida en el campus. Adem\u00e1s, cursar\u00e1 su primer a\u00f1o de universidad en la Escuela de Estudios Individualizados de RIT, donde podr\u00e1 utilizar un plan de estudios centrado en STEM para definir mejor su \u00e1rea de especializaci\u00f3n. Asimismo, cada estudiante recibir\u00e1 una beca completa durante cada a\u00f1o en RIT, gracias a la generosa financiaci\u00f3n de RIT, DREAM y Truesdale.<\/p>\n
\u201cPoder ayudar a nueve j\u00f3venes a tener una oportunidad realmente incre\u00edble, en un entorno donde se siente el cari\u00f1o y el apoyo de DREAM y de RIT, fue un resultado que no podr\u00eda haber imaginado\u201d, dijo Truesdale.<\/p>\n
Justo antes de la graduaci\u00f3n de DCHS el 23 de junio, las comunidades de DREAM y RIT se reunieron en East Harlem para celebrar esta alianza y los logros alcanzados por los estudiantes de la pr\u00f3xima promoci\u00f3n y sus familias. Con el objetivo de marcar un nuevo rumbo para la organizaci\u00f3n, los estudiantes esperan con ilusi\u00f3n dar el siguiente paso en su futuro.<\/p>\n
\u201cUna de las cosas que intento que comprendan es la importancia del legado que est\u00e1n comenzando\u201d, dijo Mo Ferreras, subdirector de admisiones de RIT y tambi\u00e9n exalumno de una escuela ch\u00e1rter de la ciudad de Nueva York. \u201cQuiero que dejen huella en RIT. Ya son un equipo, una comunidad. Quiero que lleguen al campus y la gente diga: \u2018Ah, esos son los estudiantes del sue\u00f1o\u2019\u201d.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
