CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Southwestern College is growing, and trying to change a stigma it’s been associated with for generations. Many people refer toPresident and Superintendent Dr. Mark Sanchez told CBS 8 there's a growing list of opportunities they offer, including for their Latino students who make up the majority of people who attend the school.Sanchez says he’s proud of where he works, which also happens to be the school he once attended before launching his career in education.
“That same mindset has been there since I was a student. How you begin to demystify that is through your programming as a college and be able to accelerate a student’s pathway to the goals they have and the visions they have for their life,” said Sanchez. You can even earn your bachelor's degree through partnerships with National University, San Diego State and Point Loma Nazarene.
"I never planned to transfer before, but like when I got to southwestern college and I saw the opportunities we as students have, it changed my mind," said Aguilera.
