News Roundtable | From Foster Care To College

• Kerry Tymchuk, Beth Slovic and Mike Marshall join us on the news roundtable to talk about some of the big stories in the week's news.

• Foster youth are unlikely to attend college and even less likely to graduate. We speak with two former foster youth who've made the transition into a college education: PCC freshman Adonis Lomu and PCC sophomore Quintin Nickelson. They've gotten help from a New Avenues For Youth support program, funded by the Portland Children's Levy, called Avenues to College.
