Eagle Newark scholar invited to study at Exeter this summer.
Congratulations to Eagle Academy for Young Men | Newark scholar Quinlan J. He has been accepted into the prestigious Exeter Summer at Phillips Exeter Academy. It's a 5- week academic program (July 2 - August 4) at the number one boarding school in the U.S. Congratulations! And thank you to our partners at StreetSquash Newark for making this possible.
A tradition since 1919, Exeter Summer has grown to welcome approximately 750 students from more than 40 states and 50 countries each summer. During the program’s five weeks of academic study, athletics, and personal exploration, students will experience the student-centered learning style we call Harkness. As a summer student, they have full access to Exeter’s campus and its unparalleled academic buildings, library, physical education facilities and art spaces. Since 1781, Phillips Exeter Academy has placed emphasis on uniting goodness and knowledge, a philosophy that carries into Exeter Summer. The diversity of our students and faculty combines with the Academy’s friendly atmosphere to create an environment that encourages students to undertake new challenges. Living within an academic community fosters curiosity and collaboration. The opportunity to experience residential dormitory life away from home will prepare them in significant ways for attending a boarding school or college in the future. |

RU Ready for Work (RUR) is a year round, replicable youth workforce and college/career readiness development program created and administered by the Office of University Community Partnerships (OUCP). RU Ready for Work fosters the development of skills that prepare Newark youth to compete successfully for positions and careers in today’s workforce. RU Ready’s goals are to: (1) promote retention and persistence to ensure that students graduate from high school; (2) stimulate career awareness and identify pathways; (3) develop workplace etiquette, negotiation and selfmanagement skills to help students retain employment; and (4) support students as they seek and obtain employment or admission to postsecondary higher education, vocational institution, or military services. RU Ready for Work utilizes a tiered development strategy that builds upon lessons learned and extensive assessment and evaluation over the course of the program. The program design includes educational enrichment, work readiness training, and work placements for students who have attained established preparatory benchmarks. The multigenerational program model also utilizes college students who matriculated through Newark high schools to support and supplement instruction, provide tutoring, and peer mentoring. The program is rigorously evaluated in preparation for its use in other settings. |

What is RUMBLE YOUNG MAN, RUMBLE?
Since 2010, the Campaign for Black Male Achievement has engaged the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, KY as a gathering place for the annual Rumble Young Man, Rumble! convening (RYMR). This annual event has since evolved into the preeminent gathering of cross-sector Black Male Achievement leaders working to improve life outcomes of Black men and boys across intersecting areas including education, criminal justice, mentoring, responsible fatherhood, narrative change and capacity-building. RYMR is a space where BMA leaders gather to hone their leadership skills, promote healing, and learn from experts how to improve life outcomes for America’s Black men and boys.RYMR is inspired by the life and legacy of Muhammad Ali, the hero, champion and humanitarian. While no man is perfect, Ali’s life and legacy provides CBMA with a perfect palette from which to conceptualize and implement Rumbles. Each year, CBMA exclusively invites and convenes only 125 “Rumblers”. This small number allows for an effective learning and networking, and ensures that Rumblers receive maximum benefit from the gathering.
