Community college student brings Harvard experience to her CC campus

Jessica's story of taking such initiative is a great reminder: 

"Six Latino college students who attended a leadership program at Harvard College returned to Miami with an idea.

"They decided to found a group, 305 Rise, devoted to help minority students become better prepared for college...." Read the rest of the story here.

Channel Baez inspires me more than I can say, and I today her story is featured in an article I wrote on Fox News Latino. 

I'm in Hawaii this week and so my blogs are set on a schedule; therefore I'm writing this weeks before this post will go live and don't have the exact link. If you go to my Fox News Latino archive you will be able to find it! 

Thank you so much Channel for your sharing your amazing story!
