How long have you been on Cal-SOAP’s Governing Board?
"I believe that I have been on the board for 5 years."
How do you think Cal-SOAP helps students achieve their academic goals?
"When our high school students receive personal attention during tutoring sessions from a current college student, it helps to not only bridge academic gaps, it helps them see that college is attainable. The tutors become mentors and role models in that regard."
How do you feel about Cal-SOAP, overall?
"We just had a Cal-SOAP visit to Cal Poly. It was a treat for students to get on campus and visualize themselves in this space. I love that Cal-SOAP makes our students feel special, with the lunch and transportation provided. Having said that, nothing beats the value of tutoring provided by Cal-SOAP. In many cases, this assistance is make or break with graduation or college admission. Bringing tutors to our location is a real gift to those in need."
