College Success Foundation–Spokane proudly hosted its 10th annual College Signing Day event on May 13, 2025, at Gonzaga University. More than 150 high school seniors from throughout the Spokane region were joined by their families, mentors and community members to celebrate their acceptance into colleges and universities around the country.
The event emcee was Jenny Power, a WSU alum and first-generation college graduate who now works at KHQ in Spokane. Jaime Stacy, founder of Strong Women Achieving Greatness (SWAG), spoke at the event for the second year in a row, sharing words of inspiration and support to the students. She emphasized the importance of self-regulation, self-care and maintaining community ties: “You are a part of a community, and when your cup gets empty, you seek support from your community.” Mayor Lisa Brown also spoke, proclaiming May 13 College Signing Day in Spokane. The event also featured representatives from regional colleges and universities and college scholarship drawings.
Hands down, though, the highlight of the evening was the students, who signed a college banner — a tradition at this annual event — and announced their college plans for fall to the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. They also received College Ready Packs, CSF-branded backpacks filled with supplies to help them get their postsecondary educational journeys off to a good start.
