Charla: FLC Graduate Augustin Caraza
|
Join us for a Charla with December 2016 Fort Lewis College Graduate Augustin Caraza. Augustin came to FLC and played on the football team until injuries prevented him from playing. That's when El Centro entered his educational journey and he became a Spanish tutor and work-study employee. In his time at FLC, he traveled to Spain where he mastered his skills in Spanish conversation. Upon graduation, Augustin coordinated the Modern Langauge lab and El Centro tutoring services until landing his current job as an academic success coach for STEM at FLC. He will be sharing his educational journey story over lunch.
