鈥淚 am a first-generation undocumented low-income Latina. It would have been practically impossible for me to earn my Master of Arts in Teaching without a scholarship. I am beyond grateful that I was given a chance to advance my education. I am the eldest in my family, the first to get a B.A., and now in the process of a Master鈥檚 degree 鈥 it simply feels surreal. All made possible through a very generous donation.鈥

鈥淢y wife, Lai Tan, and I support Rossier because we truly believe that one of education鈥檚 most cherished virtues is HOPE. Our annual gift supports future educators and administrators who will truly make a difference in shaping young minds.鈥
