NationsBank (formerly Barnett Bank)
Inducted 1997
NationsBank developed a curriculum enhancement program called
“How To Do Your Banking” in which employees
from the bank visit eighth-grade classrooms on a weekly
basis. They also sponsor a Mentor Day in which at-risk middle
school students are paired with NationsBank employees. Students
spend their day with their mentor “on the job”,
tour the bank facilities to learn about careers, and are
treated to a business lunch. Upon hearing that many students
at their partner school did not have calculators, which
were permitted in the EXPLORE career awareness test, NationsBank
came to the rescue. Within three days, 415 calculators were
delivered with the inscription “NationsBank Supports
the Students at Charles R. Drew Middle School”.
