Student Aspirations Extension and Expositions 1998

In 1998 I formed Student Aspirations. Bringing students and teachers from every college (arts and culture related departments) in San Diego together for a three-day scholarship fund raising exposition. The project also provided extended portfolio and educational career workshops for artists in every genre. In just under three months I was able to raise over six thousand dollars in scholarships, services, and materials. Truly one of the most productive projects I have been involved in! - Eric Wong
