Students Rising Above
SAN FRANCISCO - ncarol.com -- Students Rising Above (SRA), a Bay Area nonprofit empowering first-generation college students to access higher education and career-ladder opportunities, welcomes Elizabeth Jordan Devaney as Chief Executive Officer. Devaney succeeds Interim Executive Director Mike Loughlin.

Devaney comes to Students Rising Above with more than 25 years of nonprofit leadership experience in the field of human services. Her work in YMCAs across Wisconsin, Arizona, and California has yielded a variety of critical initiatives promoting youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility in diverse communities. As a homeschooling parent, Devaney has witnessed firsthand the obstacles faced by students in challenging situations, and believes that education must be made available and accessible through a variety of means if our society is to maximize the strengths of all of its people.

"We're excited to welcome Elizabeth as Chief Executive Officer of Students Rising Above. With a shared vision of the transformative power of education, Elizabeth understands why our work at SRA is so critical to the greater community and society at large," said Mike Loughlin, outgoing Interim Executive Director and SRA Board Chair. "Elizabeth brings to the team an exceptional combination of energy, strategy, and proven leadership in nonprofit human service organizations fighting socioeconomic poverty and its systemic effects. We expect Elizabeth to not only continue SRA's excellent programming, but to work with partners and funders to help lead the organization to its next stage of growth."

She is corecipient of USC's 2019 John Randolph and Dora Haynes Foundation Recognition Award for outstanding scholarly performance.

"I am absolutely thrilled to join Students Rising Above in this leadership role," said Devaney. "Access to education – especially at the post-secondary level – is a critical factor in the full economic participation of vulnerable populations. I am honored to join SRA in its mission to close existing opportunity gaps, ensuring all students break the cycle of poverty and achieve the American Dream of a better life through higher education."

Serving students from all nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area, SRA has now supported more than 800 first-generation students to and through completion of college. Currently, there are over 400 students on the path to matriculation in the SRA Rising Stars program, and thousands of registered users on the SRA Hub, a social enterprise tool providing college and career readiness resources to students and educators nationwide.
