Gil Gonzales '03, Coro Fellows

In 2004, Gilbert Gonzales '03 was selected to participate in the 2004-2005 Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs.

Gonzales was based in the Los Angeles Coro Center and took part in a series of internships, interviews, public service projects and seminars. He was among 64 interns chosen from a pool of 300-400 applicants nationwide.

Gonzales, who worked as an Irvine Diversity Post Baccalaureate Urban Fellow with the Center for California Cultural and Social Issues at Pitzer College, planned to conduct most of his work and research in the area of homelessness and literacy programs to reduce recidivism rates among incarcerated youth.

Gonzales said a strong and encouraging faculty at Pitzer helped to prepare him for the fellowship.
