Linda Tiscornia
Being one of the first in my Italian immigrant family to attend college, has been both a gift and a challenge. For all students who aspire to a life filled with extraordinary experiences, look for the inner fortitude to achieve your goal. An education is for life and changes a life.

Prof. Gurung, Ras
I grew up in Nepal, in a region where only 25% of women are literate. I am the first generation in our family to get a formal education. I faced all kinds of challenges and struggles while growing up. Despite all that, I never stopped going to school and learning.
