From the episode:
"For our Latino students that has meant that we have year after year increase in the number and the percentage of Latino students who are completing their transfer, and in many cases going right into CSU or UC. And I'm really proud of that, right? Because…those students are then telling their primos, their brothers, their sisters, and that's where there is communal impact…I believe that this work is about disrupting generational poverty."
