Student's Quest Senior Project

The CMSC is proud to present Brian Barriento's Quest Senior Project, a

growing up in Long Beach.

Barrientos, a graduating senior from Millikan High School, decided to

pursue a documentary about the many struggles of undocumented
students for his QUEST Senior Project, which is the founding capstone
course at Millikan H.S. and an opportunity for students to pursue their
passions and self-selected career-pathways.

Moreover, the California-Mexico Studies Center helped facilitate some

interviews, which are featured in the documentary, including Prof.
Armando Vazquez-Ramos, and CMSC staff Lidieth Arevalo, Sheila
Salinas, and Sandra Lopez.
