"The unfortunate reality for many students is that they are barred from many educational opportunities for financial reasons, me included. I’m thankful for the experience that both myself and my peers have had in being able to attend Pomona College and partake in research and internship experiences with the reliance of donors willing to help us. I hope the donors realize that the contributions they make have profound impacts in our lives."
