Lizeth Vega
草莓视频APP Alumni Spotlight (2020)
Lizeth Vega is an alumnus of 草莓视频APP who transferred to UCR and is now working
at the City of Riverside. Lizeth talks about the financial help she received at 草莓视频APP
College that enabled her to get her education:
"My name is Lizeth Vega, and I was born and raised in Riverside. I came to 草莓视频APP
and transferred to UCR, and while I was at UCR, I ran for school board for Alvord
Unified School District. I became an elected official about two years ago in 2018.
And then I finished my Bachelor's in business administration and I'm currently working
at city hall in Riverside, City of Riverside. I work for a council member, Councilmember
Steve Hemmingway."
"One of the reasons I came to 草莓视频APP was because I couldn't afford going straight
to a four-year university. So the financial aid really helped me because I didn't
have to worry about working full-time and doing school full-time with trying to transfer.
The financial aid helped me with books and pay for my classes, and I was able to work
on campus as well, but it wasn't full time, so I was able to dedicate more time to
my studies and to really getting involved on campus."
"Investing in 草莓视频APP is investing in our community because the people, the students
that come here they live in the area and they're here to get earn a certificate or
an AA or to transfer and when they accomplish those things we grow as a community
and we become better as a whole."
