Why were you motivated to join/start the Dream Project?
When I heard about the Dream Project I knew this was something I had to
be a part of. I know there are so many talented students who don't have the support/encouragement to help them get to college. Growing up I did have that extra push to get to higher education; I want to pass that on to every student I come in contact with.

Edna Munoz
Steering Committee
Why were you motivated to join/start the Dream Project?
I was motivated to start the dream project because I know how
hard it is to not have anyone there to guide you. I wanted to make
this easier for first generation students because they sometimes
don't think college is an option.

Why were you motivated to join/start the Dream Project?
Starting the Dream Project gave me an opportunity to try and pay
forward all of the essential skills, knowledge, and life experiences
that my mentors gave me. As a first generation student I
understand the road to higher education can be difficult. It is
through these reasons that making a positive change in the lives
of others through the Dream Project has become my passion.

Steering Committee
Why were you motivated to join/start the Dream Project?
It is part of my service to the university experience that has given me so much. Equal access to post secondary education is something our
society needs and every young mind deserves. I think a lot about what would happen if we choose the alternative of inaction and apathy.
The bright ideas and positive contributions these students will make with the help of college is worth every ounce of energy poured into this
program.

Morgan Dorn
Steering Committee
Why were you motivated to join/start the Dream Project?
I was motivated to join/start the Dream Project, because I know that
there is inequality of opportunity ad access in our educational system.
I have a strong desire to work with students who value education, who
are willing to risk failure to achieve success and who are willing to
take the responsibility of their future upon themselves. I want to help
students realize that when they take charge of their future, amazing
things can happen. Higher Education can lead you to opportunities
and connections unimaginable. I want to share what I have
experienced and lend my expertise to inspire students to achieve the
unimaginable.
