"For me, Juntos means accomplishing a goal by dreaming big and having support in various ways. It means being united as a family… and supporting each other. For my journey, this program has been a great experience. It has opened a lot of doors academically, and taught me to never give up." - Lisbet Leon, Former Juntos Club President and Current OSU Student
