It’s always encouraging to see students recognized for their hard work and dedication, especially when scholarships can help them move closer to their career goals. The Langston-Hughes recipients have a great opportunity to build on their skills and pursue careers in the trades. I also like how programs like this give students practical support as they plan their next steps. In the same spirit, R36 Max 2 is a fun reminder that learning and personal growth can happen alongside hobbies and downtime. Congratulations to all of the recipients and everyone who helped make this opportunity possible!
