“As a student from a low-income background who transferred from a community college to UW Seattle, I went through a lot of changes and challenges over 4 years. I recognize how having a voice of knowledge and compassion would have changed my experience for the better, and allowed me to access resources I didn't even know we're available.”

“I struggled with high school and, after graduation, I enrolled in a two-year college as it seemed like the right thing to do. I was very fortunate that during my college years, I met people who were kind and mentored me. Their guidance and support helped me believe in myself and opened my eyes to a world of possibilities. I hope my experience can help me relate to students who are struggling and provide the support they need”
