“On behalf of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, we are pleased to work with the NorCal Promise Coalition to advance equity and access in higher education. As a former community college district chancellor, who has been instrumental in the establishment of the groundbreaking Long Beach College Promise, Chancellor Oakley understands the critical role of partnerships with local education leaders and city governments, such as those making up the NCCPC, and we are pleased to share so many goals and work together towards an equitable future for higher education in California.”
Meet Edwin!
Edwin Burgos Perez, Oakland Promise Scholar
NCCPC Operations Intern Fall 2021
As a senior I’m studying Ethnic Studies and Society & Environment, and as an NCCPC intern I’m hoping to strengthen my skills to become a better agent of change. Learning how to effectively and efficiently familiarize myself with more networks/organizations for college readiness working towards college readiness.
Being born and raised in Oakland, Ca I hope I can contribute back an informative perspective that encompasses the work and struggles of pursuing higher education as a Bay Area student. I’m currently doing research on Oakland’s low access to food( as it is a food desert) and what it takes to ensure food justice to the Oakland community.
As of now I am most excited to learn and be a part of new experiences, and make meaningful memories of those who are influential and positive in my life. Fun fact I travelled to Cambodia when I was seventeen years old, and I am a self taught makeup artist.
Meet our past interns and fellows!
