Educator rounding up ‘posses' for college success

NEW YORK - Deborah Bial was running youth leadership workshops in New York City public schools when she met a young man who had attended college but dropped out.

“He said he never would've dropped out of college if he had his posse with him,” Bial recalled.

For Bial, it inspired her to start the Posse Foundation, a New York-based organization that has helped hundreds of students get into college.
