When Marjorie Adams’
oldest daughter was in eighth
grade, she knew she needed
help to secure the private high
school education she wanted
for her—LINK was that help
and so much more.
“I have very high expectations for my children and I
wanted an organization that
spoke the same language,”
said Adams. “LINK speaks to
the polish I think is important
and sometimes missing today.
It speaks to intellectual curiosity
and lifelong learning . . .”
LINK has now become
family to Adams and her
daughters; a family and community all speaking the same
language of exceptional
expectations. And her children
—LINK Alumni Rhema and
Alana and current LINK scholar
Alexis—are clearly rising to
those expectations.
gateway to reaching potential and exceeding expectations. Our scholars, as you
will read in this report, are held to high standards by their families, their mentors,
the entire LINK team and ultimately, themselves.
LINK scholars achieve academic success in high school and are equipped with tools
needed to gain acceptance and financial support needed to attend selective colleges
and universities. LINK alumni continue to strive for excellence and are leaders on
campuses across the country. The LINK network remains vital after graduation,
helping first time internships turn into flourishing careers.
Our scholars have international experiences and are prepared to compete and
succeed in the global market. LINK alumni demonstrate time and time again that
they are making a difference and giving back. They serve on our Board of Directors,
Associate Board and are engaged mentors and donors – a reflection of the organization’s enduring impact.
We are poised to celebrate a half century of accomplishment with our 50th Anniversary in 2016, and look forward to serving more scholars and developing a growing

Driving success
through high
school, college
and beyond
“I honestly don’t think I would
be where I am today without
LINK,” said Fuad Akinbiyi,
a recent University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign graduate,
now working in Human
Resources at Winston & Strawn,
LLP, a longtime LINK corporate
partner.
A self-described “shy kid,”
Akinbiyi more than blossomed
during his LINK years at Gordon Tech High School and
under the tutelage of mentor
Steve Gavin, a current LINK
Emeritus Director and mentor
for more than 20 years. “The
first time we met I think I said
about one sentence,” recalled
Akinbiyi. “Through the years
we grew close, Steve is an
amazing person and a great
role model.”
A very successful student
athlete, Akinbiyi played football and ran track in high
school, and he also made
honor roll every semester. He
went on to run track at the
University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign where he was a
communications major and
business minor. He earned
a summer internship with the
Attorney Resources and Recruitment Department of Winston
& Strawn, LLP upon graduation,
an opportunity his mentor
helped provide. Akinbiyi plans
to go to graduate school and
earn an MBA after working a
couple of years, with an eye
toward a long-term goal of
someday serving as a Chief
Human Resources Officer.
“Steve and LINK helped
give me the drive to accomplish
more.”
A global
perspective
LINK opens so many doors for
its scholars, and some of them
lead to far-reaching travels
and life-changing experiences.
Our long-standing partnerships
with American Field Services
(AFS) Intercultural Programs,
Oak Park River Forest Community Foundation, and Emeritus
Board member, Arthur Massolo,
help make these opportunities
available for a growing number
of LINK scholars.
“LINK encourages you to
study abroad, to physically
explore the world and leave
your comfort zone,” said
Princeton University Woodrow
Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs Senior
Tomi Johnson, whose LINK
high school experience included
attending the University of
Chicago Laboratory School
and studying abroad in Madrid,
Spain.
Johnson has now traveled,
studied and worked in France,
Spain and England and will be
heading to Belgium soon, all
fueling her passion for international relations and her goal to
earn a law degree and pursue
international law.

Marian Catholic High
School Senior Kyle Walker
said his study abroad in China
was one of the best experiences
of his life. “It taught me to be
resilient and ready to adapt to
new situations,” he said.
LINK is committed to
strengthening scholars by
providing access and exposure
to opportunities, helping them
to become more competitive,
courageous, and confident!
A culture of
mentoring
Mentoring has been described
as the “secret sauce” at LINK
Unlimited Scholars, an element that brings a myriad of
resources—both tangible and
intangible—to our scholars.
Baker & McKenzie, LLP, a
Chicago-based international
law firm, has played a major
role in promoting mentorship
at LINK and has been involved
with the organization since its
inception.
“LINK has always been an
important part of our civic presence and we encourage participation,” said North American
Managing Partner Phil Suse,
former Board Chair and current
member of LINK’s Board of
Directors. “It provides a real
tangible benefit for the firm and
it has reinforced our commitment to diversity.”
Suse and his wife, Kerry,
have served as mentors to
four LINK scholars and have
involved their own four children
in the process. “It’s all about
relationships and bridging
cultural gaps,” said Suse. “We
have life-long relationships that
have evolved from our role as
mentors. It’s been very rewarding for us as individuals and as
a family.”
Tomi Johnson
Princeton University,
Senior
“LINK encourages you
to study abroad, to
physically explore the
world and leave your
comfort zone.”
Coming full circle
LINK alumna and marketing
professional, Shevaz
Freeman, has come full circle
having served on the LINK
Associate Board and now as a
very active mentor.
“When I think back to LINK,
I realize it helped give me
direction. It puts you together
with other scholars who want
more and want to do more.
It sets high standards, but it
definitely shows you that you
can achieve your dreams and
that hard work pays off,” said
Freeman.
Today, she feels strongly
about giving back and hopes
more young black professionals
will follow suit.
“LINK added so much to
my education and exposure to
different programs. I always
wanted to give back to LINK,
and being a mentor has been
a very good experience, she
said.”
Now Freeman works to
be that added support for her
student, Michaela Foreman,
a current senior at Mother
McAuley Liberal Arts High
School. “Michaela’s like family
now, and I definitely feel like
I am doing something worthwhile,” said Freeman.

“I’ve been blessed with
so many opportunities
through LINK, like
my AFS experience in
France. Interacting with
students from other
countries was amazing
and I really learned to
just immerse myself in
new experiences, being
present in the moment
and making the most of
everything that comes
my way.”

ment.
High school graduation
and college enrollment is the expectation of LINK scholars from their
very first day of high school. LINK provides opportunities for them to
participate in ACT Prep classes, college visits, and college conferences, and actively works with scholars (and their parents) to ensure
they earn good grades.
College success extends beyond ensuring that scholars have the
tools and skills to do well in college. LINK guides scholars through
a methodical system for college selection that involves working with
each scholar to determine the right school for them, building their
confidence in their ability to attend the top schools, and assisting
with the search for scholarships and financial aid. “The LINK Model
builds both skills and confidence thorughout the high school years,
ensuring that our scholars will thrive in college, and beyond!” said
Dr. Roz.
The LINK Model is driven by applied research and best
practices in youth development and education. In addition to high
school and college access and success, LINK’s summer learning and
mentorship programs help create well-rounded scholars, prepared
to take on their high school and college studies; and eventually,
their careers.
Summer Learning Program
More than half of the achievement gap between lower and higher
income youth can be attributed to unequal access to summer
8 LINK Unlimited Scholars 2015 Annual Report
learning opportunities. As a result, low income youth are less likely
to graduate from high school or enter college.
LINK’s summer learning program is designed to close the gap
and propel its scholars to success. Over a six-week period, scholars
are engaged in academic coursework designed to prepare them for
the next chapter in their academic journey.
Rising freshmen participate in classes designed to help them
sharpen their knowledge in math, literature, and study skills; sophomores study math and African-American literature and take part in
a personal development course focused on self-reflection; juniors
focus on ACT preparation and college exploration; and seniors take
part in internships, college courses locally and at campuses across
the country, as well as study and volunteer opportunities across the
globe.
The LINK summer learning program has witnessed incredible
success in reducing the loss of academic skills during summer
months and continues to improve to meet the evolving needs of
scholars.
a vital bridge to success
“The mentor relationships are among the most important and inspiring elements of LINK. That we have hundreds of people committing
not only their time, but their talents and treasures to support our
scholars for four years is amazing,” said Dr. Roz. “To witness what
mentors do for our scholars and the fact that so many of our mentors
are high level executives who still make the time for our youth is
truly remarkable.”
LINK is one of only three Gold Star organizations recognized
by Illinois Mentoring Partnership (IMP) for the mentorship program.
This would not be possible without the many LINK mentors who
have helped scholars grow academically and personally. LINK
mentors are expected, at minimum, to communicate with scholars
at least twice a month, to connect in person five times a year, and
to participate in an annual training session.
James Morgan is one of those remarkable influences—he has
been involved as a mentor for 25 years. “LINK is not just a break
for these kids, it’s a lightning bolt; it’s a miracle,” said Morgan who
is the Executive Director of Genesys Works Chicago and a LINK
Board Member.
Morgan has sustained relationships with his mentees well
beyond their high school and college years. “Working with these
young kids, the world is their oyster, they just don’t know it. They
have to do all the work and choose their own path, but LINK shines
a bright light on that path.”
Mentorship continues to be a valuable asset that strengthens the
impact LINK has in the successful futures of our scholars.
Guided Study
LINK College Fair
To supplement the academic
support of our partnering high
schools, LINK connects scholars
to tutors, subject-specific enrichment classes, and test preparation workshops.
LINK invites over 60 selective
colleges and universities from
across the country each year for
junior and senior scholars and
their parents to engage with college representatives.
Scholar/Parent/Mentor
Meetings
Freshmen Initiation Ceremony
Divided by class, these meetings provide an opportunity for
scholars, parents, and mentors
alike to celebrate successes,
discuss areas of growth, and
provide best practices to achieve
a better mentor-mentee relationship.
Class Retreat
Each year, LINK invites scholars
to an overnight retreat for their
respective class. These retreats
allow each class the opportunity
to fellowship among their
LINK classmates and share in
moments of reflection regarding
personal experiences in high
school. Scholars also explore
their relationships, personal
belief systems, and goals.
AT&T Aspire Workshop
In partnership with AT&T,
scholars explore the process of
decision making and explore
career interests through a series
of team projects and group
learning aimed at helping them
understand the effects of their
decisions on their future, their
families, and the world.
This ceremony is LINK’s traditional induction ritual introducing freshmen scholars and family to their mentor. The evening
includes dinner, icebreakers,
and testimonies from experienced mentors who share their
reflections on the LINK program.
Senior Financial Aid
Workshop I & II
Hosted in the fall and spring,
senior parents learn about the
college financial aid process,
including FAFSA and scholarship opportunities. Approximately 70% of seniors received
adequate scholarships and
other financial aid to cover the
full cost of tuition.
Teen Worship Service
Connected to LINK’s traditional
grounding in Christian principles,
this spiritually-filled, themebased program led by the
scholars invites families, mentors,
and other LINK partners to share
in the celebration of the many
accomplishments and talents of
our scholars.
Summer Opportunities
Workshop
Class College Visits
During the week of spring
break, LINK takes scholars to
visit various colleges and universities in neighboring states.
Scholars receive admission and
scholarship information, as well
as take a campus tour. When
possible, current LINK collegiate
scholars lead panel discussions.
Junior scholars and their families are invited to learn about
summer learning opportunities,
including study abroad, college
immersion, and internships.
More than 75% of scholars are
placed in a summer learning
opportunity the summer before
their senior year.
Senior Mentor Appreciation
Citibank Collegiate Scholar
Roundtable
As a special ‘thanks’ to their
mentors, the graduating senior
scholars host a ceremony to express their gratitude for the four
years of guidance, counsel, and
encouragement.
Serving as a homecoming,
collegiate scholars from across
the country come back home
to LINK each year to reflect
and share their experiences in
college with current high school
scholars.
Annual Awards Banquet
Sophomore Class Career Fair
In collaboration with LAB (LINK’s
Associate Board), LINK hosts a
fair that allows the sophomore
class an opportunity to learn
about a variety of career options available to them through
one-on-one conversation and
small group presentations with
professionals representing various fields.
ACT Prep
This six-week preparation course
teaches junior class scholars
content and test strategy for
the ACT. Meeting twice a week
during the spring, scholars have
successfully averaged a twopoint increase on the exam.
This end-of-the-year celebration
highlights the achievements of
LINK scholars and salutes the
graduating senior class on a ‘job
well done’. LINK also recognizes
the support of its partners who
invest their time and treasures
in the LINK program.
Summer Learning Program
Each summer LINK hosts learning and immersion opportunities
to minimize summer learning
loss. From freshman to senior
year, scholars are engaged
in opportunities for additional
study and learning; personal
growth and development; and
opportunities for global awareness and career development.
