Episode 17: Beyond Race and Income with Tina Fernandez

On this episode of The Higher Ed shift, we sit down with Tina Fernandez, the Executive Director at Achieve Atlanta, whose vision is to make Atlanta a city where race and income no longer predict post-secondary success and upward mobility. We discuss their mission to help Atlanta public school students access, afford, and earn post-secondary credentials and the results their organization has seen. The discussion evolves into sharing specific ways to engage with students, build trusting relationships that help them see a path to college graduation, and reduce the traumatic nature of the funding journey for our low-income students.
