Stories of Champions II: Gabriel Fotsing

WKNO-TV

In our second "Stories of Champions" installment, Gabriel Fotsing helps students throughout the Mississippi delta navigate the college admissions process. 

Fotsing is the founder of The College Initiative, a Memphis-based nonprofit organization that spends time with students explaining the often-complicated process of college admissions. Many students, Fotsing says, don't realize what is out there, either in terms of college programs or opportunities for scholarships.

"Stories of Champions" is collaboration between PBS and NPR to focus on educators who are making a difference. To see videos and additional profiles, follow this link.
