🌟 Announcing the Bynes Bright Future Scholarship Fund! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share the launch of the Bynes Bright Future Scholarship Fund, a transformative initiative dedicated to supporting students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This scholarship fund aims to alleviate the financial burden for students who face challenges in covering college expenses, ensuring they can focus on their education and future. Attending an HBCU is a dream for many, but the financial strain can be overwhelming. The high costs often lead to stress and anxiety, affecting students' mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The Bynes Bright Future Scholarship Fund is here to lessen the financial hardship. Your contributions can make a significant impact, providing opportunities for talented and deserving students to achieve their academic goals without the stress of financial constraints. Together, we can create a brighter future and empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Join us in this meaningful cause and help pave the way for success.

So awesome! By the time of our 30th anniversary next May we should pass the 60 milestone - that is 60 people with intellectual disabilities or autistic persons supported by LiveWorkPlay to move to a home of their own in the community. In some cases this is their first home outside of their family home, in other cases it is deinstitutionalization, supporting the person to leave a group living facility or other institutional setting. There is a lot more variety of that than people might expect, everything from hospital psychiatric wards, to the prison system, to domiciliary hostels, to long-term care facilities. Imagine leaving any of those environments and getting your own key to your own door. It is actually hard to imagine without some direct experience in those environments.

Creating a college scholarship fund can bring meaningful and lasting change. See five things to consider when planning to start one.

Mentoring early career professionals is a favorite activity that CGI encourages me to do. I especially like working with the James Madison University students that are part of the Ole School Alumni Scholarship Group, which recruits first generation college kids, helps them complete their degree and enter the professional workforce. This video highlights their accomplishments and highlights the benefits to companies for working with Ole Schools' students. #LifeatCGI #diversity Nora N.

Sharing the experience of 2nd MUN✨, for the first time at RK University ⛩️ I attended MUN for the 2nd time and it was quite good than my 1st MUN but from the first MUN too I got many learnings. 🗝 On Day 1, I was confident as it was my second experience but it got a little twist. My compared expectations of 1st with 2nd MUN didn't match. There was no debate like a fight, very few motions were getting raised as many of them were first timers, no motions were getting pass, no twists in debate, it was like just a cold meeting going on. So on the first day there was not much to say, I gave two GSL speeches. Nothing else and I was not satisfied with that at all!⛓️ And this time I socialized so well but not in socials. After getting to my place in the evening I journaled abt the day and not so satisfied experience. I decided not to have regrets for the next day. So I prepared some points and got myself the courage to just speak up! On Day 2 it was all the same in the starting of the day but slowly it became interesting because on Day 1 it was a cold meeting room as no one had points to speak up and most of them were boarders who didn't have any source to research, but still they came with little good preparation. On that day the courage to speak up worked I gave one more GSL, raised two motions, and 2-3 speeches. Debates were improving and enjoyed it a bit more when someone came as a guest delegate. It can't be said, it was best or satisfied. But yes it was better than the last day. There was improvement.⚖️ When you experience anything, you always get something from that. That thing could be anything Lesson, memory, friend, satisfaction, hobby, addiction, and many more... If you go to such places like events, workshops, etc. you have more chances to get good things as there you can meet and engage yourself with the people with the same passion as yours. 📸 MUNs aren't just about resolutions; they're about building relationships, honing skills, and expanding horizons. Instead of scrolling through endless feeds, I encourage everyone to explore these enriching experiences. Let's embrace the power of real-life connections and meaningful discussions.🎥 When you like something so badly but are not able to do it, explore it more deeper.❤
