Nichole H. Stewart, Ph.D.
Dr. Stewart founded College and Career Pathways, Inc. (CCP) in 2008, shortly after completing her doctoral work at the University of Maryland. Having considered her love for her work with Communities in Schools ThinkCOLLEGE program and the significant impact that work had on participating students, she decided to develop a comprehensive college access and career exploration program targeting historically underserved students in the DC Metro area.
A resident of Prince George’s County, Dr. Stewart decided to launch the program in the PG County school system. This fall, CCP will begin work in its first pilot site at Northwestern High School, serving 100 students in grades 9 through 12, while continuing its work in the larger community.
Dr. Stewart holds a doctoral degree in Education Policy and Leadership from the University of Maryland at College Park, and a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Hampton University. She also completed several hours of coursework in School Counseling at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
