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.
