Honors Transfer Student Profiles
Monica Rivas
Monica Rivas is a freshman who wants to major in animal biology and hopefully transfer to an Ivy League school such as Cornell or Penn to study veterinary medicine. To reach her goals, Monica has enrolled in the Cañada College Honors Program.
“I think that the Honors classes are just the extra boost to help set you on the right track,” she said. “They definitely test your ability to juggle all your classes and stay on point.”
Monica is a member of the Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement (MESA) program and received an e-mail through MESA alerting her to the benefits of the Honors Program. “I figured it would be a great challenge as well as look really god on my transcripts for future schools.”
Monica said any student who is highly motivated and considering transferring to a four-year college should enroll in the Honors Program. “If you’re willing to work hard and you have great time management skills then you would definitely be perfect for the Honors Program. You won’t regret it in the long run.”
