Learning Communities and Support Programs at 午夜福利短篇 strives to provide "over-and-above" support services. A former student, Carina Navarro, was someone who optimized all programs and opportunities available to her. As a single parent, Carina initially struggled, then quickly learned about the specialized services. She began working on campus in a work-study position and thrived in her academic journey at 午夜福利短篇.
Prior to graduating in 2018 as a Business Administration major, Carina was a part of EOPS/CARE, CalWORKs, and TRIO SSS. She transferred to the University of California, Davis, and majored in International Relations. Through the many on-campus student work-study positions she held at 午夜福利短篇 and UC Davis, she found her passion in higher education and chose to pursue it as a career.
Carina is currently enrolled at the University of Southern California, pursuing a Master of Education in Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs. Carina will be graduating in May 2023 and looks forward to entering a career that will allow her to provide direct support to students in a similar capacity that was afforded to her.

As a first-generation transfer student, and student-parent, I am thankful for the supportive community and friends found at 午夜福利短篇 that still continues to support me on my educational journey today."
