College Visions

Meet Graduating CSP Student: William Feng

“The support system that CV represents has been instrumental to my college journey. Knowing that there is a group of people cheering me on keeps me motivated, and at the same time, understanding that there are people I can reach out to for input is very comforting.”
– William Feng, Boston University ‘18

William is a graduate from Boston University where he majored in finance. William, and his CV class’, college process and journey wasn’t easy, but they have accomplished something that not all first-generation students have the opportunity to do–attain a college degree. Because of your support, CV will welcome more students into the Alumni Community! To know more about William’s journey, read his interview below:

But in order to have that success we need the people who give to CV and make this support available. Getting help from CV has been one of the best things that has happened to many of us.” – Lagzacine A., Cranston East ’18
