#StudentStory | Jan Paolo Canteras | NISTS 2022 Transfer Ambassador
We are kicking off #CCMonth with a #StudentStory featuring Jan Paolo Canteras, a recipient of the #NISTS2022 Transfer Student Ambassador award! During our conversation, Paolo detailed his Transfer journey from Long Beach Community College to the University of California, Irvine and delved into the importance of community building, advocacy, and representation for students pursuing a neo-traditional education pathway.
About Our Guest
Jan Paolo Canteras is a PILOT, a Viking, and a leader. He moved to the United States from the Philippines to be with family despite being only a few classes away from finishing a Business Finance degree in his home country. In Fall 2016, he enrolled at Long Beach City College, a school that he viewed as a gateway to the top universities in the nation. Paolo quickly emerged as a student leader, running for and eventually being elected Associated Student Body President. One professor described Paolo as a PILOT: a Pioneer with Initiative, Leadership skills, Open-Mindedness, and Tenacity. In Fall 2018, he was awarded the Viking Award, the highest LBCC student award, which recognizes outstanding leadership, success in academics, and extensive community service hours. Paolo successfully transferred to University of California-Irvine, where he is double majoring in Psychology and Sociology. His own experience motivated him to utilize his advocacy and leadership skills to help create the Student Transfer Engagement Access and Mentorship (STEAM) course. STEAM helps incoming transfer students integrate into campus life and provides support and community to curb the negative effects of transfer shock.
