“These students know where they're coming from, which I think is really powerful. Growing up, I wasn't always sure where I came from or where I was going. At ourBRIDGE, we allow them to celebrate their culture and celebrate becoming a part of Charlotte.”
Joselyn Moreno ’29 didn’t take a summer internship at ourBRIDGE for KIDS, she was called to it. As a second year Levine Scholar majoring in public health, communications studies and Latin American studies, Joselyn grew up in Olin, North Carolina and both of her parents are from Mexico. Although her background was different to that of her classmates, she recalled having a strong support system and a will to go to college. Being family oriented, UNC Charlotte stood out to her for its proximity to home but it was the Levine Scholarship that cemented Joselyn’s decision to become a Niner.
