Hello friends from AERO,
I am very glad I got the chance to meet a lot of you in Portland a couple months ago during the annual AERO conference. As a brand new alternative college it has been a joy to find other like-minded folks to collaborate with.
I am reaching out today because we just launched our search for our 2nd ever cohort of students and I am wondering if any of you might be able to help us find some of them. Do you know someone who may be searching for their next steps?
A high-school senior about to graduate who isn’t sure what they want to do, but are curious, passionate and interested in how they can contribute to the world?
Someone who has tried traditional higher education, found it didn’t work for them and are now looking for something different?
Someone who is deeply interested in something, but needs help figuring out their next steps in realizing their dreams?
We know a few of these someones too – and they’re students at the Wayfinding Academy. Wayfinding Academy is a new, 2 year, nonprofit college in the historic St. Johns neighborhood in Portland, Oregon at the heart of a movement to revolutionize higher education. We believe the current higher education system is backwards and our mission is to flip it frontwards. You can learn more about our program and why we started Wayfinding Academy here.
We’d love to talk more about how we can partner and together, introduce students looking for their next steps to the Wayfinding Academy.
We invite you to:
Connect with us for a conversation to learn more about about Wayfinding Academy and tell us more about your organization!
Invite one of our team members to speak to your organization or students you may know who may be a great match for Wayfinding Academy
Share the invitation for our prospective student open house on Saturday, November 12th at our campus in Portland with any students, parents or community members who would want to learn more
Graduates of our program have an online portfolio to show the world who they are and what they can do, a network of support, their next steps in place, and earn an Associate’s degree in Self & Society (vetted and approved by the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission).
Answers to many other questions can be found on our FAQ page, but we’d love the opportunity to tell you more about Wayfinding in person.
I look forward to connecting with you and please share this message with others who may find it of interest.
To life on purpose,
Michelle
