CRS College Student Network Mentor and Mentee Spotlight: Victor and Jose!

Join the Camp Rising Sun, College Student Network (CSN) mentorship program!

Are you looking for support and guidance through the college application and admissions process? Then this program is for you.

CRS alumnus, Victor Way (‘19).

Hear from CSN mentee, Victor (CRS '19), and mentor, Jose (CRS '11, '15), who were paired together in our 2021 CSN cohort.

Jose has provided invaluable support and guidance to Victor as he navigates the college application process:

"Being in the mentorship program with Jose has helped me clarify my future and feel more confident in planning for the college application process. We meet weekly to discuss important topics to prepare for both junior year and college such as time management, identity, and how to take efficient notes. My junior year is going a lot smoother, all due to the help of Jose." - Victor (CRS ‘19), CSN mentee

CRS alumnus, Jose Galarza "(‘11, ‘15).

“Throughout my time as a mentor, I have been able to develop a great partnership with my mentee, Victor. Whether it be high school-related or college application-related, I can be of support when needed to help navigate the process. It is such a great feeling being able to be a part of another alumni's journey and help them get to where they want to go!” - Jose (CRS ‘11, ‘15), CSN mentor
