Barriers that young people face in obtaining a higher education due to their immigration status will be the focus of a talk by Marisol Romero at 7 p.m. Thursday, August 18, at the Asheboro library.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the talk is free and the public is invited.
A rising senior at Harvard studying human development and regenerative biology, Romero graduated from Asheboro High School in 2008.
She is spending the summer volunteering with the Latino Coalition of Randolph County to help educate the public on access to higher education for young people who are immigrants but have already-substantial ties to the United States.
