Dr. Laura Gonzalez in the Department of Teacher Education and Higher Education has a passion for helping Latinx youth make it to college. This led her to develop the So Much Potential: Tools for College Planning initiative. Her goal was to create supports for school counselors and other school personnel so that they could quickly resource Latinx high school students who are interested in higher education but may not know how to navigate the process given immigration status and financial constraints.
