About Marisol: Marisol Luna- López was raised in a small, agricultural town, named Santa Paula. She is a proud first-generation college graduate. She attended California State University, Channel Islands where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, along with two minors: Psychology and Chicana/o Studies. Soon after, she attended California State University, Northridge and obtained a Master of Arts in Educational Administration in Higher Education. Marisol is the oldest of four and helped pave the way for her younger siblings and now she is supporting families to do the same. She loves to encourage students to reach their full potential/educational goals; by educating the students and their families about the opportunities and resources they have available. Marisol loves the work that she does within EAOP because she sees herself in so many of the students that she serves, similar backgrounds and aspirations. She wishes to create ripple effects, continuing to strive to create equity, a college-going culture and dismantle the barriers facing underserved students. Knowledge is power! Aside from EAOP, she enjoys spending quality time with her loving husband, family and friends. Marisol loves going to the movie theater to watch action, horror and comedy films, going to amusement parks (loves roller coasters) and discovering new books to read.
