The Richmond SLI Meet & Greet at the University of Richmond on September 21 brought together SLI scholars and their families as well as SLI mentors, board members, and advocates.
The event, which was planned by SLI mentors at the University of Richmond, took place during a SLI Saturday program and featured highlights such as sharing by SLI alumni Maria (Virginia Commonwealth University ’26) and Ariel (Eastern Mennonite University ’24), plus current SLI scholar Lindsay (Huguenot High School ’26) and SLI summer instructor Gretchen (University of Richmond ’25). They are shown in the top right of the above photo.
The mentors group provides a variety of on-campus college access and social activities for SLI scholars in high school, such as Saturday’s leaf-drawing project, shown in the bottom left of the photo. The university students are led by Denis Velazquez Mondragon, Luis Montano, and Ángel-Xavier Elizondo, shown in the top left photo with SLI founder and program director Peter Iver Kaufman.
