PATHWAYS
TO INSPIRE

Thank you for being a part of Pathways to Inspire. 

Throughout this Summer Institute, thousands of educators, school leaders, district teams, central staff, higher education partners, employers, and community organizations are coming together with one shared purpose: to ensure every young person graduates with the knowledge, experiences, and opportunities to thrive in college, career, and life. That spirit of partnership is reflected in every conversation, every planning session, and every new connection made throughout the Institute. 

Together, we are exploring new ideas, strengthening our plans, and deepening our commitment to the vision of NY Inspires. More importantly, we are reaffirming that meaningful pathways are built through collaboration—and that together, we can create the opportunities every student deserves. 

As you return to your sessions—and ultimately to your schools and districts—I hope you leave with renewed inspiration, practical tools, and the confidence to turn ideas into action. Every step we take together brings us closer to our shared 2030 goals and to a future where every student is prepared to learn, contribute, and thrive.

Thank you for your partnership, your leadership, and your unwavering commitment to New York City students. Thank you for helping us build pathways that inspire. 

Warmly, 

Jane Martinez Dowling 

Chief, Office of Student Pathways
