Support, Community and Empowerment
"At first when I heard during my senior year [at Paly] that I was a part of RTE, I thought great, I will have scholarship money! But by the time I got to my second year of courses, and with Covid isolation, it was really RTE's mentorship, resources and guidance to advocate for myself that got me through. I would not have achieved this without RTE and my mentor's help.”
- David Wei (Computer Engineering, SJSU '23)
