Empowered by Guidance: Student Success Stories from Cerritos College
Bea Roxas

“Thanks to the guidance of my psychology professors, Dr. Kimberley Duff and Dr. Jaclyn Ronquillo-Adachi, I was selected for a summer research program at Vanderbilt University, which is an honor for an undergraduate student. I will attend my dream school, UCLA, in the fall. My goal is to obtain a doctoral degree and become a professor.”

Bea Roxas, Class of 2024

Marco Perez

“I was in foster care and failed to register for Selective Service before turning 26. Other colleges rejected my application for it, but Cerritos College gave me a chance. The LINC program (a support program for former foster youth over the age of 26) also helped me with counseling, tutoring, and emergency financial assistance.”
