[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I first heard of Posse a while ago it was from hearing an interview with the founder. He talked about how difficult it was as a first gen student of color to go to college and not have anyone like him for friendship/support. So the original purpose of the program was to recruit high achieving, first gen students of color and send them to college together to be a "posse" for each other. [/quote] The founder of Posse is a white woman "The idea for the foundation came to Bial in 1989 when she was working as a youth counselor in New York City. One student had dropped out of college; when she asked why, he told her that he would have stayed in school if only he had his posse to support him..." So, that is not correct[/quote]
