Student testimonials needed for House Ed & Labor Committee hearing

Students can elaborate on what it's like to attend such a campus. The student testimonials will be submitted as a written statement for the record in a House Ed & Labor Committee hearing and will help to make the broader point that Congress needs to increase federal investments in all minority-serving institutions, including HSIs.
