When Class Business goals were set back in September, students wanted to:
1) Ensure all students were eligible for up to $599 each for their personal business plan second semester
2) Re-invest in the program as an official Investor for the future classes and sustainability
3) Work Hard and Play Hard - with a day out of learning and celebrating together as a group at the end of the school year. And so quickly that day came and went!

Special thanks to DeWayne Love that arranged a site visit to Stifel at their headquarters at 500 N Broadway in downtown. Students spent a few minutes learning about Stifel as a full service brokerage that began in 1890 and now has locations world wide. They thrive on keeping an entrepreneurial mindset within the culture of their business, allowing teams and advisors to be empowered in how they build relationships with their clients.

Students met with several management leaders from Operations as well as Human Resources. It was a great opportunity for students to see inside of the Fortune 500 Corporate world as they determine what their next steps may be! The picture in front of the iconic bull and bear was perfection. Thank you so much for DeWayne for inspiring these young leaders!

Next to Bowood by Niche for brunch in a beautiful setting that also houses Bowood Urban Farms. It should be on your list for this summer!! The food was incredible.

And then rounding the trip out with a full circle moment for students as we had team building time at the Zoo for a few hours. Their kindergarten years likely started with a trip to the Zoo and it was a perfect afternoon to wrap up as we head into the remaining weeks of Gateaway CEO.

And special thanks to Triad for assisting with transportation and Justin for making it a great trip!
