ALUMNI “GIVE BACK” TO LINK

Do you stay in touch with your middle school? Not many people do, but Link alumni return to the school to teach, to mentor, to inspire, to volunteer, to speak to students and donors, and to donate. They are truly “giving back” to their community, a value Link tries to instill in all scholars.

After Link, Alecia attended Science Park High School in Newark before moving on to Penn State where she earned a B.A. in Labor Studies and Employment Relations. She is currently employed by Axonius.
