Chunyan

NOT FINISHED QUOTE NEEDED

“ADD”

Chunyan graduated in 2017 with an Associate’s in General Studies with the plan to continue at a four-year university. She is a first-generation college student and an immigrant from China. By attending college, Chunyan went against her grandmother’s expectations of women, but feels that the choice to attend college allows her to be independent and build a strong future for herself. She has had some academic challenges since English is not her first language, but has used resources to overcome this challenge including the tutoring center, the Writing Lab, friends, and faculty office hours. She finds faculty office hours to be particularly important because then her teachers know that she cares about her education.
