Class of 2015
CSUSM holds a tremendous place in my heart. As I grew up wondering in the plazas, looking for classes and crashing others. It helped me shape who I am and how to express myself and articulate my thoughts. I learned not only subject matters, but life matters. CSUSM is not only a school, it is a home.
