"Diversity in higher education suggests the ability to access academic spaces, resources, and overall support systems for BIPOC students and their communities. As a first-generation transfer student, daughter of immigrants, and woman of color, institutions of higher education should strive for equity for all students, particularly those students who come from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds. StreetGold contributes to this representation by providing community outreach to those students who aspire to achieve higher education but may need the extra support to do so. Academic tutoring, peer support, among other services suggests his passion toward community outreach by fostering a college-going culture through his critical work and pedagogical approaches to education."
