Congratulations, 2022 MOSTe Graduates!
Dear MOSTe Family,
Congratulations to all our 2022 middle school, high school, college, and graduate school graduates! It was a joy to celebrate you all at our Culmination Ceremony last Saturday. We are so proud of all you have already accomplished, and excited to see all you will achieve in high school, college, and beyond.
Rising first-year college scholars, please RSVP to our Transition to College workshop on June 25th. We’re excited to announce that WiLD (Women in Legal at Disney) has partnered with us to provide some funding for your dorm/college supplies, so you don’t want to miss out!
Class of 2023, now it’s your turn. Join our college essay writing workshop this Saturday to get a start on those PIQs!
Onwards,
Amy Ludwig
Executive Director

MOSTe in Action
Beach Adventure Day
We brought the school year to a close at the beach! Thank you to the wonderful staff at Celebrate Life for hosting us for a full day of community bonding and leadership building activities.
Students paired up to paddle kayaks, pushing themselves to overcome hesitation and try new things with the support of their MOSTe peers. It was a wonderful way to close out the semester and set the foundation for the year to come!
High School Highlights
Class of 2023
Their college application process has officially kicked off! In the first prep workshop, we discussed the different requirements and deadlines for the UC, CSU, and private college pathways. Looking at all the tasks ahead can definitely feel daunting, but by breaking it up into monthly to-dos, it becomes more manageable.
We are so excited to be working with yet another amazing group of rising seniors as they gear up to complete their college applications. All thoughts and well wishes are welcome! Here are some of the schools where students currently plan to apply:
- UC San Diego
- Seattle University
- Syracuse University
- Cal State Los Angeles
- Stanford
- MIT
…And many more. Follow along to see these goals become reality!

Mentor Moment
Mentor Reflections
“One thing that has been really exciting about knowing Kallie for four years now is to see them open up more about talking about things happening in the news, how they feel about certain events, etc. We have built traditions together, like getting boba each time we meet. They’ve really grown with their interests and it’s fun to talk about it. Even what they want to pursue for college has changed into something really exciting for them.”
– Mentor Michelle T.
“I had a wonderful lunch with Bianca and her family this past weekend. Her mom made birría, homemade tortillas, and we finished off with a tres leches cake. It was so delicious and special!”
– Mentor Tara R.
“Frances, Evelyn, and I joined MOSTe’s Occidental College tour in May. This was Frances’ and Evelyn’s first college tour! They learned that there are resources available to help them achieve their educational goals.”
– Mentor Elba S.
Mentors and Scholars at Culmination
We offer enormous thanks and congratulations as well to the mentors of our graduating seniors! Some of them have been beside their scholars since middle school, while others stepped in to offer crucial support during the stressful college application process. All have made a lasting impression in each other’s lives! We hope they will share many other successes in the years ahead.
