On Thursday, October 24, the second annual “Explorando Tu Futuro” college fair took place at El Kiosko, a community event hall in Southwest Detroit, bringing together four major Michigan universities. The event provided higher education opportunities to Spanish-speaking families and featured representatives Greg Garcia from Wayne State University, Daniela Guzman from the University of Michigan, Nancy Cobos from Michigan State University, and Leslie Samano from the University of Detroit Mercy.

Daniela Guzman, who initiated the event and is native to Southwest Detroit, emphasized the goal of making higher education more accessible. “Just after brainstorming, I decided to kind of make it like a community-centered event where students were just not only learning about the University of Michigan but had the opportunity to explore…So it is just an event, that seeks to make the universities more accessible.”

Greg Garcia from Wayne State University highlighted the initiative’s focus on underserved Latino students, many of whom are first-generation collegegoers. Garcia explained, “[We are] just trying to get together, close peers and colleagues and come together…and bring admissions and higher education to them and meet them where they are at.”

Leslie Samano and Nancy Cobos, both Southwest Detroit natives, emphasized the importance of the event being accessible to the local community. Samano, who attended Cesar Chavez High School, reflected, “I think this initiative hits home for me…I put myself in the shoes of the current students.”

Parents and students expressed appreciation for the bilingual nature of the event. Maria Barajas, attending with her daughter Joselyn, noted, “Necessary! Because it is my language and for me, it is much better.” Joselyn, inspired by her family’s sacrifices and aiming for a career in either astrophysics or nursing, said, “I feel like it is very important because then, they will be more comfortable, or understand when I am talking to them.”

Silvia Barba, another parent, supported her daughter Jezmy Calderon’s aspirations of attending Wayne State University. Barba appreciated receiving information in Spanish, which made it easier to understand. Jezmy, who wants to study business and fashion, and her sister Hilary Calderon, who aspires to be a lawyer, found the fair valuable for exploring opportunities.

The event provided critical information through various presentations. There was an admissions presentation, a detailed financial aid presentation, and a student panel that shared personal experiences. Garcia elaborated, “Our primary scholarship that we offer, is called the Heart of Detroit, that if they earn their high school diploma [from a Detroit public school], they will have zero out-of-pocket expenses for tuition and fees.”

Cobos added, “We tell students, that there are scholarships available for them, it can still be accessible”.

Adding to the community atmosphere, Caffeine Driven, a pop-up Latino business run by Stephanie Segura, offered refreshments that included pumpkin spice coffee and Mexican sweet bread. Segura, a first-generation college student and Michigan State alum, emphasized the importance of furthering education. “I am very passionate about people furthering their education and believing in themselves,” she said.

Organizers plan to make “Explorando Tu Futuro” an annual event, aiming to expand its reach every year. Nancy Cobos stated, “We hope it gets better every year. So that is the goal to reach as many people as we possibly can.”

Though the event has already taken place, families and students can still reach out to the admissions representatives for further information and support. Each university is committed to assisting students to navigate their higher education journey.

Explorando Tu Futuro: Empoderando a la Próxima Generación del Suroeste de Detroit

El jueves, 24 de octubre, se llevó a cabo la segunda feria universitaria anual “Explorando Tu Futuro” en El Kiosko, un salón de eventos en el suroeste de Detroit, reuniendo a cuatro grandes universidades de Michigan. El evento brindo oportunidades de educación superior a las familias hispanohablantes y contó con la presencia de representantes como Greg Garcia de Wayne State University, Daniela Guzmán de la Universidad de Michigan, Nancy Cobos de Michigan State University y Leslie Samano de la Universidad de Detroit Mercy.

Daniela Guzmán, quien inició el evento y es originaria del suroeste de Detroit, enfatizó el objetivo de hacer la educación superior más accesible. “Después de una lluvia de ideas, decidí hacer de este evento algo enfocado en la comunidad, donde los estudiantes no solo aprendieran sobre la Universidad de Michigan, sino que tuvieran la oportunidad de explorar otras opciones… Es un evento que busca hacer que las universidades sean más accesibles”.

Greg Garcia de Wayne State University destacó el enfoque de la iniciativa hacia los estudiantes latinos desatendidos, muchos de los cuales son la primera generación en asistir a la universidad. Garcia explicó, “[Estamos] tratando de reunirnos, colegas y amigos cercanos… y traer la oficina de admisiones y educación superior a ellos y encontrarlos donde están”.

Leslie Samano y Nancy Cobos, ambas originarias del suroeste de Detroit, recalcaron la importancia de que el evento sea accesible para la comunidad local. Samano, quien asistió a la preparatoria Cesar Chavez, reflexionó, “Creo que esta iniciativa me resulta muy personal… Me pongo en los zapatos de los estudiantes”.

Padres y estudiantes expresaron su agradecimiento por la naturaleza bilingüe del evento. Maria Barajas, quien asistió con su hija Joselyn, señaló: “¡Necesario! Porque es mi idioma y para mí, es mucho mejor”. Joselyn, inspirada por los sacrificios de su familia y con el objetivo de una carrera en astrofísica o enfermería, comentó: “Siento que es muy importante porque así estarán más cómodos o entenderán cuando les estoy platicando”.

Silvia Barba, otra madre asistente, apoya las aspiraciones de su hija Jezmy Calderón de asistir a Wayne State University. Barba apreció recibir información en español, lo que facilitó la comprensión. Jezmy, quien quiere estudiar negocios y moda, y su hermana Hilary Calderón, quien aspira a ser abogada, encontraron la feria valiosa para explorar oportunidades.

El evento proporcionó información crucial a través de varias presentaciones. Hubo una presentación de la oficina de admisiones, una sobre ayuda financiera y un panel estudiantil que compartió experiencias personales. Garcia elaboró: “Nuestra principal beca que ofrecemos se llama Heart of Detroit, que si obtienen su diploma de preparatoria [de una escuela pública de Detroit], no tendrán gastos de bolsillo para matricular y cuotas”.

Cobos agregó: “le decimos a los estudiantes que hay becas disponibles para ellos, aún puede ser accesible”.

Sumando al ambiente comunitario, Caffeine Driven, un negocio pop-up latino dirigido por Stephanie Segura, ofreció bebidas como café con y pan dulce. Segura, una universitaria de primera generación y graduada de Michigan State, enfatizó la importancia de continuar con la educación. “Me apasiona que las personas continúen su educación y crean en sí mismos”, dijo.

Los organizadores planean hacer de “Explorando Tu Futuro” un evento anual, con el objetivo de expandir su alcance cada año. Nancy Cobos declaró: “Esperamos que mejore cada año. Así que el objetivo es llegar a la mayor cantidad de personas posible”.

Aunque el evento ya se llevó a cabo, las familias y los estudiantes aún pueden ponerse en contacto con los representantes de admisiones para obtener más información y apoyo. Cada universidad está comprometida a ayudar a los estudiantes a navegar su educación superior.
