itemprop=\"text\" ><p>How would possibilities for the future change if students discussed college at a young age, as a viable option to plan for and consider throughout all of their education? That question is one that Lady Vanderlip asked herself, when considering the future of young English Language Learners (ELLs) and children of immigrant parents who are living in the Rogue Valley. Lady, who teaches Spanish at SOU, describes herself as &#8220;committed to the success of the next generation of students, particularly immigrant children.&#8221; In collaboration with Maria Lumbreras, a second-grade teacher at Wilson Elementary in Medford, Lady hatched a plan to bring some of Maria\u2019s students to the <a href=\"\/virtual-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOU campus<\/a>. The trip would introduce these children, all of whom were ELLs, to the concept of college and encourage them to start thinking about higher education from an early age.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br

As part of an unrelated project for his first grade classroom, Jose had recently written a bilingual children\u2019s book about Rocky the Raider, whose cover officially (and adorably) credits Rocky as the &#8220;author&#8221; and Jose as the &#8220;translator.&#8221; His book, &#8220;Un Halc\u00f3n Tiene M\u00fasculos&#8221; (&#8220;A Falcon Has Muscles&#8221;), is about Rocky visiting and training with SOU student athletes in order to achieve his dream of gaining muscles. Jose says that he &#8220;wanted to create something that is highly entertaining&#8221; for kids, a superhero story that would inspire students to achieve their own dreams. Jose is currently in partnership with the English Program and the Oregon Writing Project, with encouragement from SOU President Rick Bailey, to get his book published and hopefully sold in the SOU Bookstore, to continue inspiring young students for years\u00a0to\u00a0come.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-79semh5-8ae5aae1b332049cd08ce2207308fe3c\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-79semh5-8ae5aae1b332049cd08ce2207308fe3c .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-79semh5-8ae5aae1b332049cd08ce2207308fe3c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">&#8220;All these activities were curated to inspire students with a Latino\/a\/x background<\/span> to think about their futures and how higher education can play a big role in their lives.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Lady Vanderlip<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6nhb0kp-e7ca9f7820fbdffa6786adac8f0aa85d\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-6nhb0kp-e7ca9f7820fbdffa6786adac8f0aa85d .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-6nhb0kp-e7ca9f7820fbdffa6786adac8f0aa85d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>On the day of the field trip, the students were thrilled to be exploring campus, and were so excited to meet Rocky and hear Jose&#8217;s story. Their tour guide, Spanish student Nina Schiefelbein, played a recorded message from Jose to the students, as Jose was student-teaching at the time and couldn&#8217;t be there. Jose&#8217;s message as the &#8220;translator&#8221; of Rocky&#8217;s book encouraged the students to dream big and pursue their dreams just like Rocky did in the story. English Program faculty Dr. Alma Rosa Alvarez, a friend of Lady and fellow advocate for young Latino\/a\/x student success, stopped by after the book reading.

The last stop on the tour was Churchill Hall, where the class visited the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to see the mural <em>The Rivers of Time<\/em>.
