what resonated the most to me was always acknowledging the challenges the courageous students faced in order to create a more equitable program to help students succeed in higher education. The fact that these students advocated not only for their Educational Opportunities but to ensure future students have access to these program and its opportunities.

I believe something that resonated with me from the morning session is feeling the connection between the events taken place in years prior along with the events still happening in today's society. I thought it was very interesting to see what people had to do to fight for social justice.
