Speaker: Cora Christmas
What about your work with HFLI brings you joy or value personally?
Cora Christmas: What about my work that brings me joy and value personally with me as it relates to HFLI relates to HFLI relates to HFLI I think is that it confirms everything that I've been doing since I arrived at HFA back in 1998. That is Henry Ford's learning by doing. And when I think about HFLI And when I think about HFLI And when I think about HFLI I I think about design thinking, collaboration, working together, so problems that matter to people and that correlates with learning by doing, it's just like that's what it is. So it kind of reconfirms that the work I've been doing for the last two decades is on the right track learning by doing design thinking.
What is a signature HFLI program or story that you can share in which HFLI’s work makes a difference in our world? Tell us about it.
Cora Christmas: My signature program that I'm going to select from HFLI to select from HFLI to select from HFLI to select from HFLI Is the work that they can do do as a governing board and creator really for HFA Alameda, that school is just remarkable. It's a safe haven for a lot of students who probably wouldn't have that kind of space in a normal school or regular high school, but they're, they're able to flourish and be as creative as one can be in terms of art and design. I think many of these students who would have struggled in a regular high school will go on to be change agents in the world. we're going to see them on some national stages someday if you ever get a chance to view their artwork, it is phenomenal and I'm very proud to be associated with HFLI to be associated with HFLI to be associated with HFLI to be associated with HFLI Who invested time, energy and dollars in creating a school that service these students.
Imagine HFLI is on the cover of a major publication 5 years in the future. What would be the headline? What would be the story?
Cora Christmas: Imagine HFLI is on the cover of a major publication five years from now. What would I pick for a headline? Mm. It would be something like every problem has a solution and HFLI can help you figure it out. That's it.
