“Today we went to Florida Memorial University.  Nice school.  The undergraduate student helping with our tour didn't know we were AVID.  She is an honor college student, star basketball player from Trenton, NJ.  And when she heard the kids mention AVID she was happy to share that she was too.  It works.
