We are excited to celebrate a leader who has transformed the landscape of college access in Tennessee and beyond. Persist Nashville is proud to announce Bob Obrohta as our 2025 College Access & Success Champion, an honor recognizing individuals who are breaking down barriers and creating brighter futures for first-generation students.
For years, Bob has championed initiatives that ensure every student—regardless of zip code—has the resources, support, and opportunities needed to pursue higher education. His commitment to equity and student success embodies the values of this award, and we’re thrilled to recognize his impact at this year’s Sunrise to Success Breakfast.
This event is presented by Amazon and serves as a powerful reminder of what’s possible when communities rally around student achievement.
