Five of the six were the first in their families to graduate college and all six were offered positions with IBM; three will continue their educations with scholarships at four-year colleges and universities. P-TECH’s first graduating class includes Cletus Andoh, headed to Syracuse University; Kiambu Gall, who will join IBM; Rahat Mahmud, who will enter the Macaulay Honors College at Queens College in New York City; Michelle Nguyen, who will attend Long Island University as the first in her family to graduate high school or college; Gabriel Rosa, who has accepted a position with IBM; and Radcliffe Sadler, who introduced President Obama during his visit to P-TECH and will be joining IBM.
