RATIONALE FOR VISITING OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE: Compared to the big universities, Occidental College has a lot to offer to AVID students. In particular, students have the opportunity to be in smaller classrooms, have one-to-one attention from College professors, and are offered many chances to work directly with the College professors. RIGHT PICTURE: AVID students, Richard Garcia & Candice Rebollo sit outside Fowler Hall at Occidental College, as they listen attentively to the College tour guide.
WHAT DID STUDENTS ENJOY ABOUT OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE? AVID students were impressed with the small size of the College, the beautiful campus, and the appetizing food.
ROSCOE'S CHICKEN AND WAFFLES? To help synthesize and discuss the Occidental College experience, AVID students and Mr. Sanchez enjoyed lunch at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in Pasadena, CA. While the food was delicious, even more enticing was the discussion students had about the small school environment at Occidental College. At the moment, five AVID students will be applying for admissions to Occidental College.
(The following AVID students were pictured and participated in the Occidental College excursion: Anthony Ortiz, Richard Garcia, Candice Rebollo, Graciela Anaya, Jennifer Olivares, and Marissa Cervantes.)
