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”.
