CSU BAKERSFIELD CAMP STUDENT STORYJesus Bastidas

Furthermore, he treasures the memories from social events that allowed him to get to know his cohort and create lifelong friendships. CAMP staff selected him to participate in the Annual California CAMP Student Leadership Conference where he demonstrated maturity and professionalism to network with peers from nine other CAMP projects.

As a Roadrunner, Jesus would have to commute to CSU Bakersfield approximately 40 minutes every morning to make sure that he was present in every class. He earned a place on the Dean’s list on multiple occasions as he completed his undergraduate degree. During his third and last year at CSU Bakersfield, Jesus earned the opportunity to intern at the Bakersfield CBIZ branch, an accounting firm, as a tax assistant for the Spring 2021 term. Immediately after Jesus completed his internship, the firm offered Jesus a full-time entry position! It only took three years for Jesus to graduate with Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

Although, Jesus faced several challenges when completing his undergraduate degree, he did not allow those struggles to get in his way of honoring his family. Jesus is the first in his family to complete a four-year college degree and hopes that his accomplishment will provide his siblings the motivation and interest to pursue their college degree. His next step is to become a CPA and acquire knowledge to build his accounting firm.

The Bakersfield–CAMP team is extremely proud of Jesus’s accomplishments and looks forward to supporting his future endeavors!

Jesus Bastidas completed his bachelor’s at CSU Bakersfield in just three years! Jesus was born in Delano, California and raised in a small town (Earlimart) located north of Bakersfield. In 1996, Jesus’s father

migrated to the United States from Culiacan, Sinaloa Mexico where he left his wife and two sons behind. His mother cared for the oldest children while his father worked tirelessly in agriculture for two years to reunite the family in America. Once Jesus became aware of the many struggles that his parents and siblings had to endure in the past, he committed to do his best in school to honor his family. In 2018, Jesus graduated from Delano High School with a 3.50 GPA and 29 college transferrable units that he earned via dual enrollment at Bakersfield College and the successful completion of advanced placement testing.

The Bakersfield–CAMP project welcomed Jesus Bastidas during its Summer Bridge Program in the summer of 2018, just two-weeks prior to commencing his first year in college. Since the start of the summer program Jesus displayed enthusiasm and leadership among his CAMP peers. He was the student who would genuinely try to break the ice and take the initiative during summer program activities. Jesus shared that CAMP has proven to be the most helpful program for him during his time at CSU Bakersfield. When reflecting on CAMP, his memories take him back to chats with CAMP ambassadors who provided him with helpful tips about navigating thru college and guidance on the campus atmosphere to avoid getting overwhelmed on the first day (week) of class.

ABSTRACT

California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) is funded to serve 50 first-time freshmen,commuter students from migrant or seasonal farm worker families fromthe San Joaquin Valley in California. We work with over 100 regional highschools, on campus and community agencies to identify and recruit a diverse group of eligible students with the greatest needs for CAMP services.

CAMP’s goal is to provide students with the academic foundation they needto successfully reach their educational and career goals through 12 objectives, beginning with recruitment, orientation and leading to academics, career development, leadership and cultural enrichment.

Our students enroll with higher academic needs than the general student population. However, by the end of the 1st year many more of our students have a higher GPA than the genera student population. The high quality of our academic tutoring combined with our cultural and leadership activities have resulted in outstanding academic outcomes. We exceed GPRA 1 (86%complete 1st year) and GPRA 2 (90% enroll in 2nd year). Due to our success we have a history of receiving awards and recognized nationally as a CAMP ”best practices” program.

ABSTRACT

The California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), serves 40 eligible students from a large pool of youth with migrant and seasonal farm working backgrounds through the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP). In cooperation with the state’s Migrant Education Office, and CAMP partners, CSULB identifies needs critical for students’ success in college. CAMP’s objectives focus on enrolling and retaining eligible students. The program addresses the Government Performance and Results Act measures by establishing the following two objectives: at least 90% of CAMP’s students will complete the first year of their postsecondary program; at least 90% of CAMP students, who complete their first academic year, will continue their postsecondary education. Students are helped to transition to college through orientation programs, career and personal counseling, academic advising, and cultural events. Students who require remediation are offered individual or group tutoring. Students meet monthly with the counselor to receive academic advising, career guidance, and improve their study skills. CAMP offers workshops in economic and personal finance counseling, health care, time management, career exploration and job search skills. CAMP works closely with local, state, and federal programs that provide additional resources. Formative and summative evaluations occur immediately after providing services. Students, parents, Migrant Education and high school personnel, and the campus community provide feedback on services to improve the program. CAMP at CSULB looks forward to continued funding to increase the number of migrant students who successfully complete their first academic year and continue at CSULB through graduation.

Adriana’s experience has not been without challenges; she has grown up with Brachial Plexus, a physical disability that affects the nerves from her spinal cord to her right arm. Understandably, she has had to learn to manage her physical, emotional, and mental health in order to cope with the additional challenges that this experience would bring. Adriana has used this experience as her driving force to excel and succeed in all areas of her life, and especially in her academics. Moreover, Adriana uses her experiences of living with disability to her advantage in order to support other students who are in need of seeking additional support resources on and off campus.

Adriana will graduate in Spring 2021 with honors in a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. In addition, Adriana has been awarded the CSUMB College of Education Dean’s Medalist award for her outstanding contribution to CAMP during her undergraduate experience. Adriana credits her experience in CAMP as influencing her desire to pursue a career in student support services in the future!

Adriana Vieyra came to CSUMB CAMP after being a part of the Educational Talent Search program at Greenfield High School in Greenfield, CA. Greenfield is a small rural town,

centrally located within the fertile Salinas Valley where many farm-working families live and work. Having come from a migrant farm-working background, Adriana was a perfect fit for CAMP and excelled as a program participant, so much so that she has since joined the CAMP staff as a CAMP Peer Mentor. In her own words,

Being a first-generation migrant student myself and understanding the many barriers we are faced with, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. Which is why I never failed to provide them (CAMP students) with moral support. It was also my responsibility to properly communicate and connect students to the proper resources on campus that they could benefit from. I connect them to school personnel and even at times, have gone out of my way to advocate for my students.

She has a genuine connection with her students and is caring and empathetic to their experience. Adriana has become an integral member of the CAMP staff and continues to develop her personal and professional skill set.

CSUMB CAMP STUDENT STORY

I remember that I had applied for housing at CSUMB but when I received my Financial Aid Award letter, I knew that I was not going to be able to afford it. I cancelled my application for housing the next day and that same day I received a call from Lamberto. I explained to Lamberto what had happened and Immediately got in contact with the financial aid office and he was able to help me get a grant to cover my housing expenses. He also helped me contact the housing office to reapply for housing.

My first year at CSUMB would not have been the same if I was not part of CAMP. The CAMP staff helped me so much in enrolling in courses that I needed when I wasunsure of what classes I needed to take. CAMP provided students with the opportunity to network with others atSummer Bridge. Even after my first year, CAMP always had an open door for all students. CAMP was a family for all of its students, we were all going through similar situations. I will always remember the support and guidance that I received from CAMP, as they made thetransition from high school to college an amazing experience!

I graduated from CSUMB in Spring 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Art in Collaborative and Human Services with a concentration in Social Work. After graduating, I started working for a non-profit organization as a coordinator. Where I was able to develop my professional skills and grow as a person. Recently I started working for Sun Street Center as a Case Management Specialist. In the near future, I would like to attend graduate school to get my Master’s in Social Work.

My name is Gustavo Rua, I was born in Salinas CA, and raised in Jalisco Mexico until the age of 9 when my family decided to come back to the United States. My first few years here were difficult, I did

not know the language and I had to get accustomed to a new environment. As my family was struggling financially, I realized that I wanted to have better opportunities. After graduating from Soledad High School in 2015, I decided to attend CSUMB for the next five years.

I remember clearly my senior year of high school, I was unsure of what to do after high school. I remember only applying to Hartnell Community College because I thought I didn’t have the grades to attend a 4-year university. I never met with the school counselor to talk about applying for college, I didn’t know what was the process or even if my family was going to be able to help me financially.

As a first generation college student, I believed that I wasn’t going to be able to attend college because as a low income student, my parents didn’t have the money to help me pay for tuition. In High School I was a participant in the Educational Talent Search program, ETS, I was guided by them on the process to apply to CSU’s and apply for FAFSA. Out of the 4 CSU’s that I applied for, CSUMB accepted me. I was still unsure whether to go to CSUMB or Hartnell. Thenone day, I received a call from Lamberto Figueroa and talked to me about CAMP.Lamberto played a huge factor in my decision to attend CSUMB. He was constantly checking in with me and offering support.

Zamudio is excited to immerse herself in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. She grew up in Castroville, a small town in Monterrey County where the majority of the population is Latinx and works in the agricultural industry. Zamudio is an only child and the first in her family to attend a four-year institution. Both of her parents are farm workers and work long hours harvesting crops such as lettuce, artichokes, and strawberries.

If I was not the daughter of migrant parents, I would not have the academic and personal support from the Migrant Education Program (K-12), the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), and the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP). If I had not qualified for any of these programs, I would not be where I am at now. Being a migrant student has opened many doors that have led me to grow as a student and as a person.

Zamudio believes that participating in this internship will be a long-term investment in her success and for her community. In the future, she hopes to develop programs and services that improve the living conditions of farmworkers andthe educational opportunities of their children.

Students from migrant backgrounds face unique challenges in their pursuit of a college degree, including academic interruption due to housing instability and

language barriers. Additionally, many of these students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and are the first in their family to go to college.

I understand the fear, the self-doubt, and the lack of academic guidance that comes with the experience. When I started my college application process, the fear of never thriving in college took over

shared Angelina Zamudio, proud daughter of migrant parents and first-year College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) student. However, she has not let these obstacles stand in her way. Zamudio is one of six college students from across the United States recently selected to participate in the National HEP/CAMP Association Internship Program in Washington, D.C. This summer, Zamudio and five others will receive 10-week placements in congressional offices, the Office of Migrant Education (OME), and the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans.

COVID-19 has changed the way students learn and engage academically and socially. While many are struggling with remote learning, Zamudio aims to see each day as an opportunity to receive an education while being at home with her loved ones.

Additionally, she has found a home at Sac State.

CAMP provides me with a family-like atmosphere where I can be myself as I am surrounded by peers and staff members who share similar backgrounds and similar fears and self-doubts. Without their guidance, I would not have been selected to participate in this internship.

Her goal is to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Spanish and obtain a teaching credential. Zamudio shared,

All those years of translating conversations, documents, and at times even movies for my parents harvested a love for the Spanish language. My hope is to one day create curriculum in Spanish and safe spaces for migrant children to attend while their parents work so that they don’t have to spend their childhoods in the fields like I did.

Opportunities like the National HEP/CAMP Association Internship allows students to gain self-confidence and recognize their potential to become leaders in their respective communities.

Angelina is a self-starter and I’m certain she will continue to grow through her participation in this internship,

said Sac State CAMP Coordinator, Erica Perez.

I am currently a bilingual fourth grade teacher at Reynolds Elementary School in the Oceanside Unified School District. I am proud to say I have been a teacher at Reynolds for seven year where I have taught second through fifth grade serving language learners in a Two-Way Bilingual Immersion program. It is my passion to teach language, cultura, and also social justice. I love my job and I really enjoy what I do.

My journey has been long, and I was fortunate to have great support along the way. The support of my family, friends, great mentors, and programs like CAMP was essential in helping me achieve my goals as an undergraduate and as a professional. There were many challenges I faced through my journey like moving away from home, learning how to be independent, and many times doubting myself and my intellectual abilities to accomplish my goals. My advice for current campers is to not give up, always remember why you started and what your end goal is. Visualize your goals and don’t give up, it will be worth it.

My name is Alma Luisa Sanchez Castro and I am a first-generation college student and CAMP alumni. I grew up in the Imperial Valley and growing up as a migrant student school

was never easy for me, but my parents instilled in me the importance of education and they inspired me to work as hard as they did in the fields so that I would have a better future.

I graduated from CSUSM with my bachelor’s degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Counseling in the year 2013. I then proceeded to pursue my teaching credential the following year and graduated with a Multiple Subject Credential and a Bilingual Authorization in the year 2014. It is my pride and joy to say that I was able to obtain my Master of Arts in Education at CSUSM in the year 2016 and I am currently seeking my Administrative Credential. A goal I have for the future is to obtain my doctorate degree and teach at the university level in order to inspire, prepare, and teach future educators.

When I was attending CSUSM for my undergraduate, I had the opportunity to work as a Mini-Corps tutor. I helped migrant students like myself in the classrooms at the elementary level as well as secondary levels. This is what inspired me to pursue a career in education.

Sandra shares that “the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) has truly helped me succeed in higher education. Its purpose of having a home away from home within college helped me, as it did the numerous students who participate in the program better adapt to our new environment. As first-generation college students we may feel out of place or frightened by the new expectations and pressure of higher education, although CAMP always seeks to care for its students and prepare them to succeed”. She also adds “the program provides each student with amazing tools such as network ing skills, career exploration and the experience of visiting new campuses students may potentially transfer to”. For Sandra “the experiences that truly motivated me to continue my education were having that connection to other campuses in which I could envision myself and to have the ability of breaking through that fear of the unknown. Being part of the program cohort and after becoming a mentor for other incoming students gave me the experience to also become involved in CAMP at CSU Sacramento as part of the Retention Team, where I continued to build on my skills. The networking skills and work experience from Mendocino College brought me to having the accessibility to the new opportunities. She is proud to share that her experience in CAMP at Mendocino College has truly been one of the best of her college career. She made exceptional memories and lifetime friends. She adds, “Always remember to give back to your community, hay que darse la mano unos a otros, todos podemos!”

I am grateful to CAMP staff for always giving me their help when I need it most. My first year in college has not been easy at all, but it was very helpful to have the support of this program. Thank you to the CAMP team but specifically to Domenica Sanchez and Briana Mora, who always answered all my questions, helped me solve any problems, and were always very kind. I know that life is not easy and that many challenges, falls, and defeats await me that I have to overcome, but I am sure that the future has great things for me. I am very excited and with a lot of energy to continue with my educational path.

Jhosua Barajas is attending West Hills College Coalinga. He came to the United States about five years ago, and since his arrival in this country, his main objective has been to continue studying

and obtain a bachelor’s degree.

Learning the English language has been one of his main challenges; things have not always been easy for him, but nothing has stopped him. He is on the path to complete his first year in college. For Jhosua, CAMP has been an important tool to get him where he is; he shared that when he started college, he was confused and did not understand many things but little by little, with the help of CAMP, he has managed to complete his first year in college successfully. Jhosua is determined to transfer to Fresno State and major in liberal studies or graphic design; he tells us that he is very passionate about both areas of study and that whichever major he chooses, he is sure that he will be the best graphic designer or the best teacher.

I am motivated to know that when I finish my career, I will be able to help not only my family but also provide my service to my community and be an inspiration to young people who come from their place of origin in search of a better future. I have learned a lot about myself and my specialty, so I am happy with what I have accomplished and hope to graduate next year.

Emily is a tireless and persevering fighter who seeks her overcoming, learning, and reaching her goals; she is persistent and with a need to continue learning without taking a step back.

Emily Gutiérrez Rodríguez arrived in the U.S. at the age of 20. She was part of the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) and completed her High School Equivalency in June 2020.

Emily showed outstanding motivation to continue her education and enrolled at West Hills College North District Center- Firebaugh and joined CAMP.

Her participation in CAMP has been exceptional, and she maintains the highest GPA of 4.0, which earned her a place on the president’s list.

In Emily’s words, she is grateful for the support given to her in both HEP and CAMP;

The HEP program was a great source of help in achieving my first goal and continuing my college education in the CAMP program. I am delighted to have this opportunity; I always wanted to finish a college degree, to help my family have a better life, to support my parents, who have made many sacrifices so that my sister and I can study.

CALIFORNIA By meeting his goals, he knows that he can give back to his community and agricultural workers like his parents. He plans to use the knowledge, skills, and his degree to help workers of warehouses and packing houses. He wants to learn how to design technology that can help the workers in their jobs. He is observing how the mechanical engineers at his internship are working to design technology to help workers with their jobs, which has inspired him. Angelo’s favorite quote is:

Aqui el que madruga es el que siempre va ganar/Here, the one who rises early, is the one who will always win.

This quote resonates with him, because it reminds him of how important hard work is. To him, it means the person who works the most is the person who always wins. He believes that in order to be successful in anything, you must be willing to do the work. He believes this can apply to anything, school, work, and even on personal self-development.

If someone is not willing to apply themselves and work hard, then they will probably not be successful,said Angelo.

Angelo joined CAMP in August 2020 at WHC Lemoore. In the fall semester, Angelo was enrolled in 17 units while working full-time in the evening at a fruit packing house. He worked six

days a week, 14-16-hour shifts, and was an active CAMP participant. Angelo shared that the fall semester was hard, due to the responsibilities and the long hours of work. Angelo passed his courses successfully, earned a 3.4 GPA, and met all CAMP requirements. During spring 2021 semester, Angelo started working in an internship position at Ruiz Foods. Angelo currently interns as a maintenance mechanic, and his duties include fixing and maintaining equipment in the production line. He interns four days a week, for an average of nine hours a day, while enrolled in 13 units. Angelo is grateful for the opportunity to intern because he knows it will help him in the future, and it prepare him for the field he wants to work in.

Angelo is currently enrolled in an industrial mechanic certificate program and is also majoring in Liberal Arts. Angelo plans to transfer to California State University, Fresno, majoring in mechanical engineering.
