Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

At my city college, I was a part of a new program called Promise Pathways. This program was for incoming students who were the first to attend college, and it guaranteed the students partaking in it to transfer to a 4 year university with aid and support along the way. After my first year at the city college, I then joined a program that allowed me to help newer students joining the program. The program also allowed me to act as a mentor to the incoming students, and let me share my story with them as well as hear theirs. I switched roles within a year from a mentee to a mentor. It was an inspiring and life changing time for me. I'm not sure it that counts as activism, however, but nonethless it was an amazing program that helped first generation college students.
I honestly think that the movement wouldn't have been strong without social media. I think social media and any other new media really helped spread the stories of the undocumented students. Life is hectic and spotlights on certain issues is really helpful to the general population to pay attention to. Sometimes we need guidance with what our attnetion should be centered on.
