In March, <strong>Oliver</strong> held our first annual Spring-Forward week. This week<br />

included visits to the Museum of Modern Art and The New York Times,<br />

as well as In Our Own Voices, <strong>Oliver</strong>’s annual leadership conference.<br />

The week culminated with Career Day, held in conjunction with Barclays.<br />

Over 120 students participated in Spring-Forward week.<br />

“In Our Own Voices has motivated me to be a<br />

champion of change when it comes to social<br />

justice. I continue to be grateful for the impact that<br />

The <strong>Oliver</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong> Program has had on my life.”<br />
