Posted By: Viola Dunn-Thigpen on November 23, 2010 United Negro College Fund, Money Management Institute Partner to Extend Gateway to Leadership Program The United Negro College Fund and the Money Management Institute have announced a new partnership designed to extend UNCF's Gateway to Leadership program, which places minority college students in paid summer internships. Through the partnership, up to twenty-five students at historically black colleges and universities will receive summer internship opportunities — including meaningful work experience, mentorship, and career guidance — at financial services firms associated with MMI. Over time, UNCF and MMI expect to increase the number of interns selected through the program to one hundred a year. African Americans comprise less than 6 percent of the executives, managers, and administrators in the financial services industry, and only 4 percent of the executives, managers, and administrators in all business services. The partnership aims to augment diversity in the financial services industry by dramatically increasing the number of minority applicants who are prepared for careers in the industry. "This is a win-win-win partnership," said UNCF president Michael L. Lomax. "Students will get real-world financial-management work experience and good-paying summer jobs. Leading financial-management firms will get a first look at some of the brightest students considering careers in finance. And the country will get a financial-management workforce that is stronger and more productive, because it is more diverse." “UNCF, MMI to Partner On Gateway to Leadership Program.” United Negro College Fund Press Release 10/26/10.

One cannot, in one's own way, "...let knowledge be born...." Individuals have to seek certain knowledge for thmselves. In the end, one chooses to believe what one wants to believe and casts ideas that do not conform to those already held as "truth" aside.
