The Opportunity Network is hosting its annual Night of Opportunity Gala to honor OppNet students and trailblazing individuals who have broken barriers in their careers, spotlight their students’ achievements, and celebrate leaders who have committed to expanding inclusion, opportunity, and access. The annual fundraiser highlights OppNet's mission to close the opportunity gap that exists for students of color from historically underrepresented communities.

This year's Gala Honorees include Anu Aiyengar, Global Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at J.P. Morgan, the first woman and person of color in her role at a major Wall Street bank; Rashida Jones, President of MSNBC and the first Black executive to run a major cable news network; and Jamie Hector, actor, director, and philanthropist, best known for his starring roles in The Wire and Bosch. The evening will be emceed by two-time Emmy Award-nominated sports journalist Taylor Rooks.
