Cypress College student Catherine Cueva is one of 23 students nationwide selected as the inaugural cohort of #RealCollege’s Student Leadership Advisory Council. Cueva is the only member from the California Community Colleges and just one of four from the Golden State.
California’s additional selections come from Fresno State University, California Polytechnic State University at Pomona, and the University of California Berkeley. In all, the 23 students attend 19 public institutions, eight community colleges, and four Historically Black Colleges and Universities.Three-quarters of the SLAC members identify as female and 87% are people of color.
Cueva said she joined the Student Leadership Advisory Council “to help inform others about food insecurity, expecially on college campuses.” Her interest is an extension of her volunteer efforts providing Thanksgiving meals to those in need.

Thelma McWilliams was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1916, where she spent her early years. She moved to Montgomery to attend Alabama State Teachers College and, after graduating in 1941, she went on to get an MA degree from Columbia University in 1947. She returned to teach Geography at her
