Mission and Purpose

Mission: All Things College is committed to bridging the gap from high school to higher education within the minority community.

 

Purpose: The primary purpose of All Things College is to Advocate for quality education by informing students and parents nationwide on college readiness, standardized test-prep, and scholarships; ensuring an increase in minority economic growth.

Gia began developing All Things College (A.T.C.) as a freshman in high school. What started as an initiative has since grown into a thriving business dedicated to bridging the gap from high school to higher education within minority communities. A.T.C.’s mission is to champion educational equity by equipping students and parents nationwide with resources on college readiness, standardized test preparation, and scholarships—ultimately working to boost minority economic growth and increase college retention rates. This work is deeply personal to Gia. She is passionate about empowering others to break generational barriers by encouraging, equipping, and inspiring them to pursue higher education. Gia firmly believes that when scholars from minority backgrounds gain access to quality education, they not only transform their own futures but also uplift entire communities. Through A.T.C., she aspires to inspire students worldwide to dream boldly, pursue higher education, and unlock their full potential.
