A local SLI program recognized its graduating mentors and seven graduating scholars at a celebration this month featuring a SLI alumna as guest speaker, who shared about her own SLI/college journey. A graduating scholar and her mentor shared brief reflections about how SLI has shaped them, and SLI program director Karen Cornejo Guillen presented graduating scholars and mentors with a small gift. SLI program director Ruth Espinosa read a poem and said a few words of encouragement to the graduating group and rising seniors.
