Bridge to Employment and More

Beam was a program for displaced spouses, and persons that had not finished school. It was a program designed to help students become familiar with the college campus, and help build self confidence. I graduated from this program December 18th, 1998

I was the editor of the newletter for the B.E.A.M. Program while I attended Porterville College.
 
These are the professors and teachers that gave so much of themselves to help others regain their self respect.
