A new vision for Cleveland will be developed at the community-wide CLE Rising Summit in October. This September session is an opportunity for students to share stories ahead of time in case they cannot make the full two and a half-day Summit.

Led by an Appreciative Inquiry facilitator, students will answer four questions about their most positive Cleveland story and participate in a group activity to generate ideas that should be included in any future vision for Cleveland as a community. Tell us about a time people came together to do something wonderful, fun, or both in Cleveland! These positive stories will help us find Cleveland’s greatest strengths and give us a pathway to transform the quality of life in Cleveland for the better.

Dear fellow graduate students,

Hi! My name is Ashley Chavez-White and I am the GCS Director of Social and Special Programming. I am in the Graduate Entry program at Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing. I am getting my Masters in Nursing. I love walking my dog on walks and puppy dates  (I have a Pomeranian-husky) and watching Bravo Reality TV. One unique fact about me is that I sky dove on my 25th birthday and it is my dream to do a solo jump by the time I am 30 years old.
