At Home with Roby

Mike Vreeland, President of the Bridge Foundation, joins Trent and Patrick for today’s show.  The Bridge Foundation was started in 2003 and is a local nonprofit focused on networking and philanthropy.  Each year, the foundation awards a local high school student with the Bridge Scholarship.  To date, they have given over $320,000 in scholarship money to 16 recipients and have a 100% college graduation rate.   Ethan Kim, 2020 recipient of the Bridge Scholarship and freshman at UNC-Chapel Hill, also joins the conversation.  After being deferred by Harvard last December, Ethan created his “Harvard Please Let Me In” rap video to get the university’s attention.  While the video didn’t get him accepted into Harvard, it did get the attention of the Bridge Foundation and 1.4 million viewers!  As the video shows, Ethan is passionate about performing and hopes to have a career in the entertainment industry someday.    Check out Ethan’s video here.
