More than 50 guests celebrated with members of the Alumni Circle at the Miami Children’s Museum on March 9th to spread the good news about Teach For America’s (TFA) work in Miami-Dade County. The Alumni Circle hosted the event to raise awareness among our business leaders about TFA’s impact on the success of many schools in the county and to encourage support from both individuals and corporations to expand the organization’s efforts.

“I think we accomplished our mission,” said Monique Catoggio (EMBA ’03), director of Alumni and Partner Relations for the college. “Many of the attendees clearly were moved by the testimonials presented at this very special event by Teach For America’s core members (teachers) and sponsors. I know they will receive additional support due to our efforts.”
