Former First Lady
Michelle Obama is committed to helping students reach higher by
completing their education past high school. She will continue to
celebrate College Signing Day to recognize the hard work of
students who pursue and complete their postsecondary education, whether
at a two-year school, four-year university, or through an industry
recognized credential. Mrs. Obama will celebrate on May 5th, and she encourages you to celebrate with your students,
too. During the webinar, Reach Higher will share its toolkit to help you host a college signing day in your community.
Presenter: Eric Waldo
As Executive Director
of Michelle Obama’s Reach Higher initiative, Waldo is working to inspire
every student in the U.S. to take charge of their future by completing
their post-secondary education, whether at
a professional training program, a community college, or a 2-year or
4-year college or university. His role cuts across policy, advocacy, and
community engagement to further the goal that the U.S. once again leads
the world in terms of college graduates. After
leaving the White House, Waldo has moved over to the non-profit, Civic
Nation, where he continues to lead Mrs. Obama's college access and
completion initiative as the Executive Director of Reach Higher and the
Executive Vice President for Education. Prior
to joining the first lady's staff, Eric served as Deputy Chief of Staff
at the U.S Department of Education for Secretary Arne Duncan. He
earned a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School, an M.Ed. from
Harvard University, and an A.B. from Brown University
