Alumni Profile: Fine Tuitupou
Now a student at UC Berkeley, Fine Tuitupou found a path to her future, met amazing friends, and made lifelong connections at El Camino. Her work to incite change regarding inequity was extremely meaningful and has become a focus for her future as an activist and advocate for others.
“Support programs were pivotal to my success at El Camino College,” Fine added. “I also encourage students to use resources such as tutoring, the Transfer Center, etc. Faculty and staff genuinely care about students. El Camino challenged me in many ways; I do not believe I would have been able to grow as much in any other situation.”
