Milken MeetUp
Apr 15, 2026
The Teachers of Promise Institute
Midlothian, VA
February 27, 2026
More than 90 outstanding future teachers selected from 20 colleges and universities were honored at the 23rd Teachers of Promise Institute. Milken Educators were among the mentors and presenters who gathered to celebrate the decision to teach, elevate the profession to the status it deserves, and strengthen a growing network of excellence.
“I walked away from the Institute feeling inspired, recharged, and reminded that mentorship is one of the most rewarding parts of our calling as educators. While it was an honor and privilege to help support the next generation, the real gift was being surrounded by their contagious energy, innovation, and passion, confirming that the future of education is bright, bold, and in very capable hands.” - Kelly Ryan (LA '23)
