McDonald's, CoolSpeak, and USHLI Partnership Continues in
Santa Ana, CA
|
The McDonald's series of Student Leadership Summits, in partnership with USHLI and CoolSpeak, continued into Santa Ana, CA. The event, held at Santa Ana High School, was attended by over 2,700 students, teachers and counselors, featured a nationally prominent motivational speaker, a breakout presentation on scholarships and "how to" finance your post-secondary education, and a Career and College Recruitment Fair. The Career and College Recruitment Fair featured a Study Lounge sponsored by McDonald's and included over 30 recruiters representing post-secondary institutions in the vicinity.
Our nationally prominent motivational speaker from CoolSpeak was Carlos Ojeda. Juan Cangas conducted the workshop on scholarships. Local McDonald's Owner/Operator Victor Quiroz addressed students on behalf of McDonald's.
At the McDonald's Study Lounge students learned more about regional and national RMHC HACER Scholarships, received information about post-secondary education, and took free snapshots. A local McDonald's owner/operator also provided a complimentary oatmeal breakfast and students enjoyed a Smoothie snack during the Career and College Recruitment Fair. USHLI is very grateful to Santa Ana Principal Julie Infante and her entire team for their support and invaluable assistance in planning and hosting the event. USHLI is especially grateful to Dr. Al Mijares, Superintendent of the Orange County Office of Education and OCOE Chief Academic Officer Dr. Jeff Hittenberger for their leadership and facilitating USHLI's access to district and high school personnel, and to everyone else who contributed to the success of this event. USHLI also congratulates Dr. Rick Miller, the newly appointed Superintendent of Santa Ana schools for attending the event and supporting the series.
 
SLS participating schools will see their students become better motivated, more involved in class and extracurricular activities, more determined to succeed academically and in life, and better prepared to enter the workforce. Over 16,000 students, parents, and teachers are expected to be served through this new series of Student Leadership Summits.
