We could not be prouder of Senior Program Coordinator Khaila Miles-Semons for representing College Possible Wisconsin at the 2024 NCAN Conference last week!✨

At the conference, Khaila led a roundtable session titled “Call Me Maybe: Strengthening Identity and Buy-In between Students and the Programs that Serve Them,” where she spearheaded discussions on strategies to build stronger student identities within programming, ensuring they feel connected to the resources designed to help them succeed.

Cheers to Khaila!! 💙📘✨
