Today’s decision does not change our commitment to our students, especially students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students, and all those historically underrepresented in higher education.

I hope you are all proud of what you accomplished bc it is not easy to always stay positive & believe it can be easily done. Thank you for working your external jobs, taking care of your families & most importantly doing that while completing your academics- SGA Pres Justin Muñoz
