Rodrigo Mendoza Lee

During my time at BU, I felt like I was constantly learning and discovering the best ways to navigate this institution and its many processes and systems. As a first-generation student and an immigrant, I definitely felt like there was a bit of a disconnect between me and some peers and/or staff that came from a place of not having enough in common. I decided to become a Terrier F1RST Advocate in hopes of connecting with students who might see parts of themselves reflected in my experience/journey.
