On March 21, Mr. Darian Reynolds accompanied about 32 Aliquippa Senior High students to Point Park University through the Rising Brothers and Sisters Program via the Rowland School of Business. This program is spearheaded by Aliquippa Alumnus, Dr. Mitchel Nickols.

 

Students received information related to career readiness, values, personal and financial resilience, development, entrepreneurship, and being smart with their money. Speakers included professors and deans from Point Park, Attorney Hagan Starz, and the VP of Community Development of Dollar Bank, Jason Jones!

 

Students also participated in a few group discussions and an interactive activity where half of the room was responsible for creating a business and the other half were the investors, mimicking a Shark Tank scenario.
