A letter from President and CEO Andrew Bramson

Dear families,

I’m reaching out to share some exciting news! Our organization, formerly known as the College Crusade of Rhode Island, has changed its name to Onward We Learn.

This new identity better aligns with our mission, vision,
and values as the state’s most comprehensive college access and success
organization. Our mission and programs will remain the same, as does our
commitment to students. The name Onward We Learn reflects our continued work to
be more inclusive and to meet students where they are, supporting them on their
journeys to be lifelong learners, successful individuals and, in many cases,
the first in their families to attend and complete college.

I want to thank those of you who participated in our
extensive eight-month process that engaged more than 125 students, staff,
alumni, parents, and community partners to arrive at our new name, Onward We
Learn.

You may have noticed the word “college” is no longer in our
name. We know many of you enrolled your children in our organization with
dreams of sending them to college, and we share that dream, too. We will
continue to recommend earning a bachelor’s degree as the most reliable path to
success for Onward We Learn students, and the vast majority – about 70% – will
pursue a traditional four-year college experience; however, many students today
are pursuing alternatives to college such as apprenticeships, certificates, and
stackable credentials, and we want to support them in that pursuit. Our
students’ journeys do not all look the same.

The most powerful word in our new name is “onward,” which
signifies mobility, trajectory, and growth. Moving forward and growing as
learners, people, and professionals is what ties our community together—from
staff to students, parents to partners.

While our name and logo look different, our commitment to
student success will never waver. We will continue to offer and improve upon
our signature one-on-one advising, academic and social-emotional programming,
college readiness, and family engagement activities that have driven our
students’ success for 32 years. We’re just getting started.

Thank you for entrusting us to be a part of your child’s journey
to college and beyond. If you have any immediate questions or feedback, please feel
free reach out to me directly at 401-519-0220 or at [email protected].

Onward,

Andrew Bramson
President and CEO

Una carta del presidente y jefe executivo Andrew Bramson

Queridas familias,

¡Me comunico con ustedes para compartir algunas noticias emocionantes! Nuestra organización, anteriormente conocida como College Crusade of Rhode Island, ha cambiado su nombre a Onward We Learn (Adelante Aprendemos).

Esta nueva identidad se alinea mejor con nuestra misión, visión y valores como la organización más completa del estado para acceder a la universidad y tener éxito en ella. Nuestra misión y programas seguirán siendo los mismos, al igual que nuestro compromiso con los estudiantes.

El nombre Onward We Learn refleja nuestro trabajo continuo para ser más inclusivos y entender el punto de partida de los estudiantes, apoyándolos en su recorrido como personas que siempre están aprendiendo, que son exitosas y, en muchos casos, que son los primeros en sus familias que asisten y terminan la universidad.

Quiero agradecer a aquellos de ustedes que participaron en nuestro extenso proceso de ocho meses que involucró a más de 125 estudiantes, personal, exalumnos, padres y socios comunitarios para llegar a nuestro nuevo nombre, Onward We Learn.

Es posible que haya notado que la palabra “college” ya no está en nuestro nombre. Sabemos que muchos de ustedes inscribieron a sus hijos en nuestra organización con el sueño de enviarlos a la universidad, y nosotros también compartimos ese sueño. Seguiremos recomendando obtener una licenciatura, pues consideramos que es el camino más confiable hacia el éxito para los estudiantes de Onward We Learn, y la gran mayoría (alrededor del 70%) buscará una experiencia universitaria tradicional de cuatro años; sin embargo, muchos estudiantes de hoy buscan alternativas a la universidad, tales como pasantías, certificados y credenciales acumulables, y queremos apoyarlos en esa búsqueda. No todos los recorridos de nuestros estudiantes son iguales.

La palabra más poderosa de nuestro nuevo nombre es “onward,” que significa movilidad, trayectoria y crecimiento. La idea de avanzar y crecer como estudiantes, personas y profesionales es lo que une a nuestra comunidad, desde el personal hasta los estudiantes, los padres y los socios.

Si bien nuestro nombre y logotipo se ven diferentes, nuestro compromiso con el éxito de los estudiantes nunca desistirá .Continuaremos ofreciendo y mejorando nuestro exclusivo asesoramiento personalizado, la programación académica y socioemocional, la preparación para la universidad y las actividades de participación familiar que han impulsado el éxito de nuestros estudiantes durante 32 años. Apenas estamos empezando.

Gracias por confiar en nosotros para ser parte del camino de su hijo(a) hacia la universidad y más allá. Si tiene alguna pregunta o comentario inmediato, no dude en comunicarse conmigo directamente a 401-519-0220 o [email protected].

Atentamente,
Andrew Bramson
Presidente y CEO

College access and success program announces new name, advances same mission

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (June 29, 2022): The state’s most comprehensive college readiness program, formerly known as the College Crusade of Rhode Island, announced today it has changed its name and brand identity to Onward We Learn.

The announcement follows an eight-month process that engaged over 125 students, staff, alumni, parents and community partners, and signals a renewed commitment to helping thousands of Rhode Island students each year build a personalized pathway to a more successful future.

“We believe that this new identity better aligns with our mission, vision and values as the state’s preeminent college access nonprofit. Our mission is the same, yet Onward We Learn reflects our continued work to be more inclusive and to meet students where they are, supporting them on their journeys to be lifelong learners, successful individuals and, in many cases, the first in their families to attend and complete college,” said President and CEO Andrew Bramson.

The vast majority – about 70% – of students in College Crusade have a traditional four-year college experience. By emphasizing lifelong learning and forward progress, the new name recognizes the changing postsecondary landscape and validates the experiences of hardworking students who instead pursue alternative pathways such as apprenticeships, certificates and stackable credentials.

“The data is strong that college continues to be the most effective path to social and economic mobility, especially for students of color. As a student-centered organization that seeks to include all perspectives and experiences, we want to make room for many different pathways as we look to the future,” Bramson said. “Students have a range of postsecondary options, and we want to celebrate pathways that work for them; we must transition from the notion that the classic college experience is an all-or-nothing proposition. The most powerful word in our new name is ‘onward,’ which signifies mobility and trajectory. When you think about college or other postsecondary options, think about Onward We Learn.”

The organization, founded in 1989 as the Children’s Crusade for Higher Education, engages students in urban school districts starting in middle school and provides college readiness, career exploration and academic support programming through high school and into college. Advisors work hands-on within schools and after-school programming.

“This relaunch marks an exciting new chapter for an organization that has been making a difference for Rhode Island students and families for more than three decades,” said Meg Geoghegan, chair of the College Crusade board of directors. “Our impact is felt by the students who receive academic support and college counseling, and as a result become first-generation graduates from competitive universities across the country. It is felt by our families, who access assistance with financial aid and other support services that set their children up for success. And it is felt by our state, which reaps the benefits of this community of talented, innovative and energetic young leaders.”

College Crusade supports more than 4,000 students in middle school, high school and college each year with one-on-one advising and year-round programs that focus on academic enrichment, social and emotional development, career education, and postsecondary preparation to help them become the first in their families to earn a college degree. Middle schoolers who attend traditional public schools and select public charter schools and independent schools in Providence, Cranston, Pawtucket, Central Falls, Woonsocket and West Warwick are eligible to enroll in College Crusade.

Classical senior admitted to 12 universities

Honorific students named valedictorian, salutatorian at CFHS

Two Onward Honorific Program students were Class of 2022 tops in their class at Central Falls High School. Valedictorian Lyneth Mendoza is studying electrical engineering on a full scholarship at the University of Rhode Island and salutatorian Darisel Velez is at Brown University this fall, where she is considering majoring in political science or pre-law.

Mendoza said she chose URI not only because of the full ride, including room and board, but because it felt like the right size for her over larger schools she was accepted to in cities. She had participated in Onward summer programs in Kingston and said, “It’s more comfortable for me; I felt like just knew the campus.”

She can participate in the four-plus-one program to earn her master’s degree for the cost of one additional year and plans to add an undergraduate double major in computer engineering and minor in computer science. “I hope to work in a job where I’m able to be very hands-on – build robots or different types of prototypes and code and be collaborative working with people,” she said.

While in high school, Mendoza played soccer for three years and was captain her senior year. She participated in the Science Olympiad for three years and served as class secretary her senior year. “We wanted to make sure we had a good senior year. We did a lot of fundraising. Our prom budget was $14,000 and we raised almost $10,000 so prom tickets were only $25 per person. We wanted to make sure any student who wanted to go could go without having to raise the price.”

She also worked for her school in tech support and volunteered at the school where her mother works, Veterans Memorial Elementary School, in a program for newcomer students, many with language barriers, to help them learn about English, math, and social studies. She also held summer jobs for the city and participated in the Prepare RI Innovation Challenge, where her team came in third place.

Her parents, who emigrated from Colombia, always stressed the importance of education.

“My parents are both very hard-working and I appreciate them. My mom always made sure I was the best I could possibly be. Her main goal was that I go to college and become a professional and do more than what she could have done and just give me and my sister the opportunities that she couldn’t have.”

She said participating in Onward and helped her prepare for and apply for college.

“I knew I was going to go to college but it wasn’t like I had a lot of experience; my mom doesn’t know anything about the college process, so to go on these [Onward] college visits was really helpful to see the schools and learn what should I do be doing on a college trip or visit and helped me see these colleges that could be options when I was applying.”

Participating in the Honorific Program with Associate Director of College Admissions Ana Almeida provided even more help with the college process. “Without that program I would have been more lost because the college process was so hard,” she said.

“Ana is very helpful; she’s really knowledgeable and she’s always there for you. She knows what you should be doing – especially with the Ivy Leagues, she knows what they want – and she understands that the people she’s helping out are students who are going to be going to really good schools and want to do well in college,” Mendoza said. “She offers a lot of opportunities, and she has whole spreadsheets with scholarships. If everyone had an Ana they’d be so grateful for her.”
