Lorena Arango ’03 Lorena Arango ’03 (Central Falls High School) is pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Rhode Island College. She currently works for The College Crusade as a Data Specialist, and has done so for the last three years. She plans on graduating soon and then pursuing a Masters Degree in Computer Information Systems. Lorena is enthusiastic about her Crusader years. “I had nothing but great experiences with the Crusade,” she says. “I went on almost every college visit imagined, did all the afterschool activities, and did a lot of other programs such as the Cross-Age Tutoring Program, the Kaplan SAT Prep classes, Brown Summer High School, and so on. I must say that my favorites by far were the Cross-Age Tutoring Program and Brown Summer High School. The Crusade offers a lot of great programs and after school help that each Crusader should take advantage of. It wasn't until I began working at the Crusade that I really understood how hard the people here work to make the Crusade what it is today."
