MIND’s JiJi Runners supported the
Hyundai Hope on Wheels 5K on August 31.
Hyundai’s brand tagline is “New
Thinking. New Possibilities.”
How has that translated in your
relationship with MIND?
New Thinking New Possibilities is a
guiding brand principle that reflects
Hyundai’s willingness to use innovation
to create unique experiences. We are
excited about our partnership with MIND
Research and the early results we have
seen. Any time you have two innovative
companies working together for the
betterment of society, we believe you will
have a potential for great success.
What would you tell people or other
organizations who are considering
making a gift to MIND?
At Hyundai, we place great value on our
partnerships and the ability to create
value through our investments. From our
experience in partnering with MIND the
last three years, we have come to see that
they have highly knowledgeable managers
and extremely bright thought leaders.
Most importantly, they are passionate and
driven to fulfill their mission.
Two-thirds of students fail to meet
math standards by middle school.
Seventy percent fail to demonstrate
math proficiency by the time they leave
high school. But the problem isn’t
the students. It’s how math is taught.
Our children need us to reimagine
math education. So that’s exactly what
MIND Research Institute is doing.
The National School Scholarship
Learning Alliance partners
contributors, schools and MIND
Research Institute to give more
teachers and high-need children
access to the powerful ST Math
education program. The Alliance
builds on our success in turning
students across the United States
into creative problem-solvers. Our
results speak for themselves: students
participating in ST Math experience
double, and even triple, the growth
in math proficiency. Consequently,
these children gain the critical-thinking
skills and love of learning necessary
for success in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics
(or STEM) – fields essential to our
innovation-driven world.
Contributions to
the Alliance provide
disadvantaged and
low-performing elementary
and secondary schools with
access to the ST Math
program, including:
• Access to ST Math for a
minimum of 200 students at a
participating school;
• Professional development to
improve math comprehension
and proficiency of participating
teachers; and
• Ongoing training and support
from dedicated education
support professionals.
We invite you to be part of the solution
to math education. Help us reimagine
our children’s futures.
