In this edition of In the Spotlight (September 24, 2023), longtime Anyone Can Achieve mentor Dr. James Gladden, Professor of Political Science, Emeritus, shares why seeing mentors’ faces and stories matters to young people.
“What Dr. Thomas has done on this website in planting the idea that the door is open for higher achievement is laudable! Many young people for whatever reason believe the door is closed. It helps to see mentors’ faces and reading their achievement stories. This says to a young person that it’s possible they too might achieve! This idea is inspirational.”
Dr. James Gladden, Professor of Political Science, Emeritus
