Adult student graduates from college
Xiao Ling Wen came to BCNC too old for high school and with English not yet ready for college. BCNC prepared her so when she graduated from the Adult Education program, she was able to get into UMass Boston for Management and Accounting. She returned to BCNC as a TAG tutor and a volunteer to help clients with their income tax forms. She was also a recipient of the First Literacy Scholarship and BCNC's TJX volunteer of the month award. We were so proud to see her graduate from college this June!
