The Purpose-Driven Student
September 26, 2016 - Today Don Kelly from the Tempe South Rotary Club talked to us about the struggle that lower income students have to succeed. He told us of his own experience as a lower income student and the techniques he had to learn. He became a "purpose-driven student" who was then successful and became a purpose-driven professor at ASU. Don related several stories about how he engaged students to make them successful. He told us that he has persuaded his club to fund a scholarship for summer classes for 5 students who could use the extra help. He would like our club to provide a similar opportunity for 5 students at a cost of about $1700. We agreed to look into this further in our next couple of meetings. Don is writing a book on how to improve graduation rates for low-income students and will donate proceeds from sales to the scholarship program.
