Student Spotlight: Ellion Magsino
Ellion Magsino dreamed he would one day be able to immigrate from the Philippines to the United States and pursue a better life. That's exactly what he's doing at Onondaga Community College. "I love it here. There are so many opportunities compared to back home where there weren't a lot of opportunities for success."
Magsino arrived in the United States in 2019, following his mother who had immigrated here more than a decade earlier. He was raised by his aunt and uncle while he waited for everything to be worked out with the immigration process.
