Assemblyman Mark Stone helped a student get readmitted to her first choice college, University of California at Irvine. Isabella Bettencourt’s acceptance was first declined after UC Irvine stated that a specific course had not been properly recorded to the university, although this course was not required to be accepted. Bettencourt, a graduate of Mount Madonna School in Watsonville, contacted Assemblyman Mark Stone when she found out her acceptance was revoked. Stone organized a phone call with UC President Janet Napolitano and other people to get the issue cleared-up.
The Bettencourts thanked stone for turning around the situation and helping their daughter be re-admitted into university.
