Meet Our New Student Advocate
Hi guys my name is Angel Marshall! I am a first generation college student in my family. I was a GEAR UP student at Syracuse High School and graduated in 2020. I am currently attending WSU for my freshman year in college. Right now my major is Health Science but who knows, that might change.

My biggest dream is to get rich and support my family in any way I can. I also want to buy a family home in Bora Bora and Okinawa, Japan. In my free time you can probably catch me singing, dancing, and/or chilling with my family and friends.

I am available Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9-3! Don't be afraid to contact me if you need me!
