Class is in session starting September 23 and we are making 2020 the year of optimism!
We’re partnering with colleges across Texas for an online speaker series designed to inspire students in every corner of the state with real-life stories and practical advice. Optimism 101 is three-part virtual event designed for college students across Texas. Each course features a guest speaker in a video interview and goes live on Wednesday, September 23. These virtual speaker sessions will be moderated by Texas Optimism Project columnist and Good Newscast host Owen Egerton.
