Birthed out of founder Alecia K. Eugene's traumatic 5-year experience serving as a Trustee on the Twin Rivers School Board, Urban Advocates and Achievers is dedicated to creating the “Pipeline-to-College and 21st Century Career Technical Opportunities” by advocating for students and families in underserved areas. According to a 2021 study published by the American Psychological Association, “Black students are often subject to harsher discipline at school than white students, and those punishments can damage students' perceptions of their school and negatively impact their academic success” feeding right into the school-to-prison pipeline. Hear how UAA is closing the education gap by providing students and families with a holistic and personalized approach that empowers and uplifts both the student and their family in their pursuit of academic achievement, excellence, educational equity, and economic sustainability. Tune in to hear my conversation with Founder and CEO Alecia Eugene and Deputy Director of Operations and Development, Jackie Buchanan as we discuss how UAA helps parents navigate the Individual Education Plan (IEP) process, advocates for education equity and what they are doing to close the education gap for all students. UAA offers many programs to support students and families, including their phenomenal STEM/STEAM program which is also designated as a chapter member by the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). They are making a difference! No matter where you are located, UAA can support your student/family.

Electricity utility Eskom says the measures announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa will enable it to intensify its maintenance efforts to drive improvements to the energy availability factor (EAF) across its coal fleet, where the performance has been “disappointing”. In a statement released to express its support for the interventions announced on July 25, Eskom said it was placing significant emphasis on recovering the EAF. Ramaphosa announced that Eskom would, over the next 12 months, increase the budget allocated for critical maintenance to increase the reliability of its generation capacity. “We are cutting red tape that has made it difficult for Eskom to buy maintenance spares and equipment within the required period to effect repairs,” the President added. It was also announced that the utility was recruiting skilled personnel, including former senior Eskom plant managers and engineers from the private sector, to “help to ensure that world-class operating and maintenance procedures are reinstated”. In a statement, Eskom said the measures announced by the President would enable it to intensify its maintenance efforts to drive improvements in the EAF. The utility confirmed that it had already reached out to the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) to determine if its members were interested in assisting Eskom to bolster its skills. During a recent meeting between Eskom and NSBE, the utility highlighted that it had a shortage of technical skills to conduct maintenance and refurbishments on the aging coal fleet. Eskom also made a commitment to putting concrete plans in place to improve staff morale, and it was agreed that plans to bring back retired artisans and engineers would be carefully managed “with buy in from current employees and unions”. Ahead of the President's speech, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan denied that he had specifically approached Solidarity for a list of skilled personnel and insisted that he had made a call to all organisations for skills to support Eskom, regardless of race. Meanwhile, Eskom said the reforms announced by the President, many of which had been raised by CEO André de Ruyter as possible remedies earlier in the year, would go a long way towards easing the power generation constraints the country had been grappling with for some 14 years. The utility described as “particularly pleasing” that it would be empowered to speedily acquire additional generation capacity from existing independent power producers (IPPs) with excess capacity, as well as to acquire spares and equipment from original equipment manufacturers. “Eskom's efforts to acquire battery energy storage systems (BESS) are already at an advanced stage, with further tranches of BESS roll-out to follow imminently. “Furthermore, as the President announced, Eskom has already released land with grid connections for long-term leases by independent power producers, with more to follow in the near future.” Meanwhile, Eskom argued that the move to remove limits to private sector electricity generation would help unlock investments, create jobs during the construction and help lower the cost of electricity in the long term. Eskom confirmed that it had significantly shortened the time required for IPPs to obtain cost estimate letters and budget quotes for grid access and said it was committed to optimising the process even further.

Raw, genuine, honest answers. That’s what we got when we sat down with three undergraduate students and discussed how they made the Bronco choice. In part one of our two part conversation, hear how these current students submitted dozens of college applications and navigated the decision making process to find just the right fit. Every path is unique to the individual, but these three students discovered a way forward where their potential is limitless. SPEAKERS: Nathan Metzger, Senior, Mechanical Engineering Nathan is a senior Mechanical Engineering major on the path to complete a Masters in Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation Engineering. He is from San Jose, CA and blends his passion for engineering with a love for music. He is a member of the SCU Chamber Choir and a capella groups and will sing for you at the drop of a hat. Just ask him! Uma Palaniappan, Senior, Public Health Science/Public Psychology Uma is originally from Fremont, CA and is interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare. She is double majoring in Public Health Science and Public Psychology on the Pre-Med path. Uma is a Global Fellow who completed a program in Istanbul and would love to start off at a digital health company and then expand into global health. Eventually, she would love to pursue a career in medicine or epidemiology and with a senior superlative like “chatterbox”, we’re certain her bedside manner will be top notch. Alonzo Billips, Freshman, Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering Originally from Los Angeles, CA, Alonzo is enjoying his first year at SCU as a declared Bioengineering major. He’s on the Varsity Baseball team, and is a member of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and Igwebuike (SCU’s Black Student Union). He considers himself a natural leader. With stints as freshman, sophomore, junior and student body president during his high school years, we’d agree wholeheartedly!
