EDLA donates money for ESOL scholarships
Story by James Hill
Left to right, Rocio Ceja-Bolanos, James Posey and Karla Sanchez, Ģý Sylvania students and members of EDLA (Educacion Latina) and ASĢý, visit the college’s Foundation office to drop off $480 in scholarship support for Sylvania Campus’ English for Speakers of Other Languages program.
The funds were raised by way of a silent auction, part of “Fiesta Latina,” a day-long series of events to celebrate Latin American culture that took place on campus May 6. “Fiesta Latina” was organized by EDLA and ASĢý.
