While sharing his #HigherEd journey, academic advisor Juan Rosales reminds us that the college experience is filled with moments that last a lifetime.

“One of my favorite memories at @UCMerced was taking a two-hour road trip to San Francisco with some friends, taking pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge and then coming back the very same night.”

Thank you for serving our #GEARUP4LA students at @vms_tigers, Juan!

Counselor Aide Kezia Obasi has one piece of advice for #GEARUP4LA students: Find your passion and love what you do.

Kezia found her passion while at @calpolypomona, which gave her the opportunity to travel to Portland, Oregon and present psychological research.

“It was really fun and exciting to meet different people who share the same passion for psychology as I do.”

Thank you for your wisdom, Kezia!
