Rising College Freshman

Code2College alumni now attend 66 colleges and universities across the country and internationally, with 73% pursuing a STEM major . With hundreds of Code2College students graduating from high school each year, supporting our alumni is more critical than ever to fulfilling our mission. To meet their needs, we have expanded our alumni programming to increase access to mentorship, individual support and advising, peer engagement and community building, networking opportunities, professional development workshops, and internship & job search support. Additionally, the Alumni, College and Career Success team creates a Resume Book to aid in internship and career placement for our program alumni as well as an engagement scholarship each semester to help support with college expenses and book costs. Code2College alumni continue to impress with their academic success, internship engagement, leadership endeavors, and early career pursuits.

Favour is currently a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin , majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering. Eyes set on the future, Favour took multiple Code2College courses and participated in over a dozen professional development workshops, eventually landing a software engineering internship with Atlassian in the summer of 2022. What's more, Favour is highly active in her local community. She's worked as a volunteer teacher for CoEducate.org, participated and learned from a UT Austin research program, and plays the violin for UT's Orchestra for Engineers Club! No wonder she's wearing sunglasses - she's got a bright future ahead! Alumni Highlight: Favour O. (C2C '22)
