Graduating Student Shoutout: Valeria Cruz Garduno

Valeria Cruz Garduno

Bachelor of Science, Elementary Education

Tell us about your collegiate activities, your clubs and organizations, or your favorite memories.

I am a member of the Tau Sigma Transfer Honor Society, as well as a member of the National Society of Leadership and success. Some clubs that I was able to participate in were the Hispanic and K-pop clubs.

Share the names of your favorite professors or other mentors you'd like to thank (and why).

My favorite professors are Dr. Shanan Fitts and Dr. Greg McClure. I would like to thank them for always helping me while I was taking their classes as well as for being interested in integrating my culture and community by creating Rutas y Raices.

In a nutshell, what has App State meant to you?

It has a special meaning to me since I fell in love with the campus and the community. Being a first-generation student has been a great and significant accomplishment to me and also for my family.
