Bloomberg Philanthropies

When first-generation college students have access to the support and opportunities they need, the impact extends far beyond the classroom. 🎓 #CelebrateFirstGen

This First-Generation College Celebration Week, we’re highlighting the Kessler Scholars Collaborative, which we support alongside the Judy and Fred Wilpon Family Foundation. Working with colleges and universities nationwide, the Collaborative is helping first-gen students succeed throughout their college journeys and beyond.

From higher graduation rates to increased participation in internships and research, the results speak for themselves.

Bloomberg @AmericanHealth Fellows are on the frontlines in communities across the country, addressing some of today’s biggest health challenges while earning an MPH or DrPH from @JohnsHopkinsSPH.

At the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26, they shared the work they’re doing, the progress they’re seeing, and the lessons they’re learning on the ground.
