James Williams is the Director of Postsecondary Success and Strategic Partnerships. He leads college, career, and alumni programming for the Network, supporting affiliate capacity in these areas, and managing partnerships with universities, intern placements, and peer organizations.
“Boys Hope Girls Hope has garnered a lot of respect nationwide and internationally,” said Wilson. “The organization fits the model of what we are looking for in a partner.”
A top-15 private research university, WashU comprises seven schools: art and architecture, arts and sciences, business, engineering, law, medicine, social work, and public health. The university also claims several areas of research focus, including biotechnology, plant science, and business development.
Justin Wilson, Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, will be the university contact.
“Boys Hope Girls Hope has garnered a lot of respect nationwide and internationally,” said Wilson. “The organization fits the model of what we are looking for in a partner.”
Boys Hope Girls Hope partners with colleges and universities across the country that align with our mission and values and are committed to supporting young adults historically underrepresented in higher education.
According to Wilson, the organization’s ongoing support of collegians was a significant factor in establishing a relationship.
“The university appreciates that Boys Hope Girls Hope continues to work with students while they are still in college. That was a prominent selling point for us in developing a partnership.”
