Jose Urgiles

I proudly became Emporia State University alumnae in 2011 with a degree in Management Information System. As an immigrant from Ecuador, I faced many challenges during my college career. Although the language was a barrier for me, I was not stopped from achieving an education and maintaining a job to secure my financial expenses. Now, working successfully at Emporia Motors for nine years and I raising two children who are also attending Emporia State University, I decide donates scholarships to students to help them overcome the hardships of today's economy. I want to help those who are in the same or similar situation I found myself in my college career.
