Student Perspective

“SDSU Imperial Valley has given me the space and support to discover my potential. Through my involvement in Associated Students and campus life, I’ve stepped outside of my comfort zone, taken on leadership roles, and developed skills that have prepared me professionally. Serving my peers while continuing to challenge myself has made my experience truly meaningful.” – Nayeli Cano, psychology and criminal justice undergraduate student
