From the Associate programs we congratulate;

- Ana Villa Amparo from Lane Community College. Ana was born on Mexico and her family moved to the U.S. when she was a little girl. She grew up seeing her father suffer from breathing problems and has dedicated her career to him. Her goal upon graduation is to travel to other countries and help those who cannot afford healthcare.
From the Bachelors programs we congratulate;
