Angelica Miramontes, College of Social Sciences, Dean's Office
A big thank you to Angelica for helping at the College of Social Sciences, Outstanding Student Reception. She did an amazing job before the event, helping me with the centerpieces, going over the PPT and medals, setting up and cleaning up after the event, and ensuring that everyone did not exceed their allotted time. Angelica, I know I can always count on you, and I am grateful to have you as a colleague and friend. Thank you for all that you do for the college, staff and students!
