As a first-generation college student, I know the impact a college degree makes on one’s life and family. As a professional educator, I see first-hand how higher education transforms lives in positive ways.

10,000 Degrees is true to its mission, ethical to the core, compassionate and caring to all constituents, and exceptionally efficient and effective with the use of our finances to achieve our mission.

My spouse and I care to make an impact beyond our lives and have planned our estate so that our surviving family is considered, as well as our key philanthropic causes. Our planned gift to 10,000 Degrees provides the organization the opportunity to invest in a significant way.
