Franco and Herrera entered tiny, idyllic Grinnell four years ago as members of a "posse" of 10 disadvantaged but promising high school graduates from Los Angeles.
By banding together, the students would help one another navigate unfamiliar academic and social terrain in this remote college town surrounded by fields of corn.
Grinnell would cover their tuition -- $1 million worth -- and in return get a little more diversity on its campus of 1,500 students, virtually all of them white.
The story was a follow-up to one they did in 2004.
