The U in Us

One of the goals of Kearny’s new E2E lab is to ensure that students apply, get accepted, and are successful in college. To help with this process, this week the lab hosted two students from Cal State San Marcos who gave a presentation about the college journey. Deya Hernandez and Yoana Lozano are both sociology majors at CSUSM, but took very different paths to get there. The two speakers were able to come together to form their non-profit, The U in Us, focused on inspiring, motivating, educating and spreading positivity. Kearny juniors and seniors were energized as they interacted with real college students covering topics such as: the importance of networking and resources, the application process and where to get help, and how to become involved on campus. Feedback from Kearny students shows that they appreciated the unique opportunity to hear from students who are currently attending college. The biggest takeaway from the presentation: You can lose everything, but no one can take away your knowledge!
