PEP Accomplishments

Dear PEP Family, Friends, and Colleagues,

 

This has been an eventful year for Pin@y Educational Partnerships.  Many of our students are graduating from elementary school, middle school, high school, and community college.  Some of them are actually graduating from universities too.  Many of our teachers are also graduating and doing great things.  As many of you know, although we have a growing number of Filipina/o students in our schools in the United States, there is still a lack of Filipina/o Americans educators and administrators.  This is compounded with also being historically underrepresented in the curriculum both in K-12 schools and institutions of higher education.  These challenges have informed PEP’s purpose. 

 

Over the past ten years, PEP has grown from a small mentorship program to a phenomenal educational pipeline that not only serves youth but PEP also produces critical and community-engaged educators and scholars.  We have seen critical mass of PEP teachers who have been accepted, attending, and graduated from some of the top credential, masters, and doctoral programs in the nation.  I am currently compiling a list of PEP folks who are pursing or have received a post-baccalaureate degree in the last ten years.  Just recapping the last couple of years is already amazing.  I just wanted to give a preview (of the last two years) of what is to come for our ten-year anniversary gala in October, where we will present a more complete list.
