Sometimes, the first step toward college isn't completing an application.
It's walking across a campus and realizing, "I can see myself here."
Our Path to College Fellows recently visited Florida Atlantic University for a day of exploration, learning, and inspiration. Students toured campus with current FAU students, learned about academic support resources, visited the Kelly/Strul office, and experienced what everyday college life is like.
The visit also included time at the Gruber AI Sandbox, where Fellows explored exciting artificial intelligence projects and used Claude Code to build a virtual closet app and a music recommendation app that suggests songs based on someone's facial expression and outfit. It was an engaging way for students to see how technology, creativity, and innovation come together to solve real-world problems.
Experiences like these help students picture themselves in spaces where they can learn, grow, and succeed.
A heartfelt thank you to Lucy Rodriguez, Angel Santiago, Isa Tovar, and Jocelyn Correa Sánchez, members of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc., for leading our students on such a welcoming and engaging campus tour. We also extend our gratitude to Florida Atlantic University and everyone who made this experience possible.
Here's to helping students dream bigger, explore new possibilities, and take the next step toward their future. 🎓
