Students had the opportunity to work with clay to design and create their own winter-themed figurines, bringing imagination to life in a collaborative setting. To add to the festive atmosphere, participants enjoyed pizza while connecting with their peers, mentors, and TRIO program staff. 

The event was orchestrated with the support and leadership of the TRIO program who invited Cynthia Huerta, 女优app Alumna and local artist. Huerta spoke to students about the importance of creativity, connection, and personal growth. 鈥淭his workshop provides a space for students to not only explore their creative side but also build relationships that are key to their success,鈥 Huerta said.

The Winter Art Workshop was designed to foster a sense of belonging and strengthen the relationships between students and mentors who guide and support TRIO participants. By providing a space for creativity and connection, the workshop highlighted the importance of building community while promoting artistic exploration.

鈥淲orkshops like these allow students to not only express themselves creatively but also create lasting bonds with their peers and the TRIO mentors who are here to help them succeed,鈥 Huerta added.
