"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's OK. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."
- Anthony Bourdain, on travel, and—perhaps—on life
About Me
Corey Stone is an educator and photographer living in San Antonio, Texas and working across the state, primarily in and around Bryan-College Station. With over a decade of higher education experience, primarily in the area of first-year transition, Corey is passionate about seeing students find their community and their calling while enrolled as college students.
Outside of his work in higher education, Corey expresses his creative side through a photography small business, primarily serving first-generation college graduates at universities such as Texas A&M, Sam Houston State, UT-Austin, and UTSA. Corey’s passion for supporting first-generation college students through both education and photography traces back to his early years working with first-generation support programs at his alma mater, Texas A&M University.
Outside of teaching and photography, Corey is actively engaged in research related to first-generation college student college access and success measures, primarily at this time in the early-college and dual-enrollment space. Additionally, Corey and his wife Elizabeth maintain an annual not-for-profit international field trip program, also targeting first-generation students.
