I’m a big fan of MASE. If you haven’t heard of it, MASE stands for the Memphis Academy of Science and Engineering. It’s a Memphis charter school, but I tend to think of it as a magnet school since they have a focus on science. Students and teachers will be on hand to meet guests.

The New Memphis Institute is accepting applications for their fellows program. The program lasts approximately one year and provides leadership training and great networking opportunities across different industries throughout Memphis. I’m a graduate from this program, so I can personally speak to the benefits that it provided to me.
Here’s more about the program from the New Memphis website:
The New Memphis Institute trains leaders with a mission – to develop their personal potential so Memphis reaches its full potential. All that is done contributes to a mission with a purpose: leadership that ripples from New Memphis’ programs and improves all facets of Memphis – neighborhoods, schools, government, economic development, and civic life.
If you would like to learn more about New Memphis, they are holding an information session on Wednesday, November 13th from NOON to 1 PM at the Germantown Community Library.
