Welcome to Amplifying Persistence! Institutions of higher education place many roadblocks for underrepresented students that limit their chances of successfully achieving their goals of acquiring a degree. Students of color, first-generation college goers, students coming from low income families, international, undocumented, nontraditional learners (to name a few) are the true experts of the postsecondary experience, and their stories need to be heard. Join Diego Villegas, a current college student, as he dives into conversations with students about their trials and successes. Each episode will be a conversation with a different student, who will bring us along their own unique educational journey and teach us what we must do to better support them.
