You can find



        your place.








        As a Bend Beav, you’re part of something special. And
        no matter who you are, or what interests you, there’s a
        place for you.






        Marcella Guerra credits
        a family friend for

        encouraging her to work

        hard in high school and

        apply for college.


        She has beaten the odds for at-risk youth and
        is a rising senior at OSU-Cascades. She is the
        fi rst in her family to attend college. It was in
        a human development and family sciences
        course that Marcella knew she had found
        her place at OSU-Cascades — and a passion
        for helping others. She has participated in
        several internships, one where she helped
        teens navigate life after foster care. This fall
        she heads to China for another internship
        and will teach English to young children. She
        goes there well-equipped — she knows the
        diff erence encouragement can make.
