“Giving Back” - A Salute to Belia Alvarado

Belia began her freshman year at Weber State University in the fall of 2007 and was accepted into the Student Support Services program shortly thereafter.  Through hard work and determination Belia has now completed all of her math requirements and is a sophomore making great progress towards her bachelor’s degree in psychology.  Belia currently serves as a peer mentor to WSU students enrolled in the FYE Program as well as to high school students through WSU’s Student to Student Program.  She attended the 2008/09 WSU Student Leadership Academy and is involved with the AmeriCorps Volunteer scholarship initiative on campus.  Belia enjoys her association with SSS and has received tutoring, mentoring, supplemental grant aid and textbook loan services.  She is grateful for SSS services and in the spirit of “giving back”, currently volunteers her time to tutor another SSS program participant.  Belia embodies the ideals of campus involvement through serving others.  We at Student Support Services salute Belia’s volunteer spirit and her gracious contribution to our program.  Thanks Belia!
