Undergraduate Program
• In early October, AIDS advocate, author and entrepreneur Getrude Matshe shared her inspiring story of success with a crowd of nearly 100 Cambridge College students and guests. The event, which was part of the Strategies for Success class in the Cambridge College undergraduate program, was so inspiring for undergrad student Alexandra Vanegas that she decided to take action. "Her lecture was amazing and I felt personally moved and inspired by her journey," said Ms. Vanegas. She told Ms. Matshe that she wanted to help her Africa Alive Foundation and the school Ms. Matshe was involved with in Zimbabwe. "The school is run down and has books dating back to the 1950s. So I told Getrude that I wanted to collect 500 books to send to the students in Zimbabwe," Ms. Vanegas added. Vanegas is in the process of spreading the word about Africa 500, the name she has dubbed the project, and is trying to collect books. Her Africa 500 blog can be found at http://africa500.blogspot.com.
