Delaware College Scholars (DCS), a college prep program for high-achieving, under-resourced public high school students, has a new program director and community liaison.
Jordan Bonner attended St. Andrew’s School in Middletown before earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Wesleyan University and his master’s degree in psychology and education University of Cambridge in England this past spring,
Bonner will direct the three-week summer residential portion of the DCS program, manage community partnerships, and serve as a resource for freshman and sophomore college students.
Bonner was recently selected to serve as a National College Attainment Network advocacy fellow where he will engage in national policy discussion surrounding the Pell Grant, and has been selected for the 2021 Leadership Delaware class. He is also serving as the first research associate at Virginia Union University’s Center for the Study of HBUs, where he focuses on connecting HBCU education scholars for collaboration to “rewrite the narrative.”
“Jordan is the embodiment of what we want for our program,” said DCS Executive Director Dr. Tony Alleyne. “To have his drive, energy, innovation and dedication full-time has already increased the capacity of DCS to a new height which is exciting for all of our scholars — past, current and future.”
