Judith Sandonato

I became an advocate out of a desire to better understand and support students from a variety of backgrounds. My parents did earn bachelor degrees as commuter students, so I’m not a first gen student. However, I was a Pell Grant recipient and fully paid for my undergraduate degree, so I know what it is like to struggle financially while being a student. There were not a lot of supports like the Newbury Center when I went to college, so I’m excited to be part of this supportive network.
