The temperature in Rhode Island about this time in August soars to a sweltering 90-degree average. It is no surprise that we refer to this time period as the “dog days of summer.” Just stepping outside makes you feel like you are melting like an ice cube on hot concrete. Students on the other hand tend to face a different type of melt, one that beyond high temperatures has the potential to derail college careers before they even get started.

First Generation College Graduate: Marc Torres
With the support of CV staff and donors, Marc graduated from the University of Rhode Island with his bachelor’s degree in Accounting. Here is what he had to say to you:
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to CV donors. Without CV support, I would not be in the position that I currently am. The generosity of CV donors allowed me to make use of all the resources that were available to me throughout high school and college, so I thank you all!”
Marc takes pride in being a first-generation college graduate and we are honored to have been able to witness his journey.
“Being a first generation college graduate means the world to me. To be able to graduate college and make my family proud is my greatest achievement in my life thus far.”
Thank you to everyone who has supported College Visions students through each stage of their transition, whether that be from high school to college or college to post-college life. We appreciate all that you do for our students. Read Marc’s interview below:
