Photo of the Week

For all graduates–you haven’t met me,

neither have I met you.

You inspire me as I walk into my new beginning.

A journey I never thought I would be a part of.

Poem and photo were created by Gina Cortez as she looked up at the sun and felt the energy and pride that fills the campus around Commencement.
