Graduate Spotlight: Ale Angulo
Ale Angulo from Costa Rica joined BYU-Pathway to help her transition to college after returning from a mission. As a first-generation college student who immigrated to the United States, Ale faced many challenges on her way to a degree. But after a lot of hard work and faith, she graduates with a bachelor’s degree in family and human services today from BYU-Idaho!
She said, “After my mission, I was lost and didn’t know what to do. Now I know I want to go to law school! I’m so happy the Church gave me the opportunity to get a great education through BYU-Pathway.”
