Testimonals
“It was an absolute joy having Ashaki speak at our regional program event last year. As an alumni coming back to speak to current program participants, she was able to effectively and passionately convey the benefits of the program. Her confidence and excellent public speaking skills showed participants what they too could gain from the program. After the event, several participants asked to connect with Ashaki to continue learning from her. I would highly recommend her for future speaking engagements.”
Mel Flanagan
"Project Rebound (at CSU East Bay) was honored to have one of our own Scholars, Ashaki Scott, return to share her powerful experience studying abroad. Her talk was not only informative, but truly inspiring. She spoke candidly about the challenges she overcame to make the trip happen, and the incredible personal and academic growth she experienced while abroad. Her openness, encouragement, and practical advice helped demystify the process and sparked genuine interest among the group. Several students stayed afterward to ask questions and learn more about how they, too, could take advantage of this life-changing opportunity. We are so thankful for Ashaki's generosity and willingness to share her experience with Rebound Scholars!"
