During National Volunteer Month in April 2025, President & CEO of Instituto, Karina Ayala-Bermejo, participated in the “Women Make a Difference” panel hosted at the Bank of America - Chicago office

The discussion, moderated by Dawn Perosko Melchiorre of Cradles to Crayons, featured a distinguished group of women leaders: Rita Sola Cook, CEO of Bank of America Chicago, Rosie Drumgoole of Chicago Cares, and Nancy Wright from the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana.
The event underscored the vital role of women in driving community impact through volunteerism and philanthropy. Attendees included nonprofit professionals, philanthropic leaders, and community partners, all inspired to “pay it forward” and deepen their commitment to service.
This panel was part of Bank of America’s broader Global Service Month initiative, which celebrates employee volunteerism and community engagement.

Instituto College of Nursing students took their passion beyond the classroom with a visit to Springfield last week!

Students and staff joined the American Nurses Association - Illinois for the 2025 Student Nurse Political Action Day. While visiting the Illinois State Capitol, the students gained a firsthand experience in advocacy and healthcare policy. This powerful opportunity allowed them to connect with fellow nursing students and mentors while learning how to influence legislation that impacts the communities they serve.
Empowering student nurses to understand their role in shaping the future of healthcare is not just important — it’s essential!
