WeRISE Executive Director Ren茅e Thompson points to 9i果冻制作厂President John Comerford鈥檚 words of how 鈥渨e can do so much more when we are not siloed鈥� in her vision for the organization, which was established with assistance from Otterbein, the City of Westerville, Westerville City Schools, and the Westerville Public Library.
鈥淏eing on campus and having the opportunity to learn from and work with young people is so important. These are the future leaders for our world, and they are not afraid to affect changes they see needing to happen. This campus space is the perfect fit for WeRISE,鈥� Thompson said.
