College Visions

Journey to Guatemala

Do you love to travel? How does travel add to your life? Many students and alumni take advantage of opportunities to travel abroad whether that be for study abroad, volunteering, or leisure. Yuselly Mendoza is a recent college grad, who had the opportunity to reconnect with family and volunteer within a community she can call home.

“As a graduation gift to myself, I decided to travel to Guatemala. I not only had the amazing opportunity to reconnect with extended family but also did volunteer work at the School Oficial Rural Mixta Tecun Uman Aldea Zejuyup as a bilingual teacher assistant.” – Yuselly Mendoza, Rhode Island College ’18

Introducing New Board Member: Shontay Delalue

We hope you will join us in welcoming Shontay Delalue to the College Visions team! She is the Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity at Brown University and we are ecstatic to have her as one of our newest CV Board Members!

Here is what she has to say about College Visions:

“CV is an extremely important resource to the community. The college process can be daunting – especially for those who are the first in their family to attend. CV goes beyond college access support to ensuring CV students who are enrolled in college receive support as well. A first-gen college student can waste a lot of time and money in their first year trying to figure out how to navigate college. CV recognizes that the promotion of college enrollment, persistence and graduation results in ending cycles of generational poverty and in turn builds an educated workforce that can bring systemic change back to their communities.”
