This is an informal, drop in event for all-students, faculty, and staff.
CCLA's inaugural ChangeMaker in Residence program is designed to bring a community expert to campus who can illuminate diverse pathways to positive social change, whether that includes direct service, activism and advocacy, education, research, or philanthropy. Flow Tejada '11 is CCLA's inaugural resident, and we're delighted to offer this public opportunity to engage with Flow and her beloved community.Whether you share an affinity, career interest, or shared commitment to social change, drop into CCLA to chat with Flow to kick off her residency.
Flow Tejada ‘11 (she/her/ella) believes a student's zip code should never determine how far they go, and she has built her career around ensuring it doesn't.
Flow is an immigrant raised in a family of many educators, including her mother, and she grew up knowing what it means to navigate systems that weren't built with you in mind. As a first-gen college student, she found that programs like Upward Bound and Posse helped open doors for her, and everything she does professionally is, in some way, an attempt to do the same for someone else. An internship during her junior year at Dickinson College cemented this path.
She began her career in a middle school classroom, went on to build a college counseling program from the ground up, and later led partnerships at OneGoal in NY. She now serves as Director of College Advancement for KIPP Public Schools' Southeast region, the largest charter school network in the country. She is also a Dickinson College Trustee and a first-year lecturer at Rutgers University.
Flow lives in New Jersey with her partner Natalie (an Algebra teacher), and enjoys boxing, traveling, cooking and a good podcast.
