Joshua Tongson-Fernandez is excited to start his new college journey, following the footsteps of those who came before him.
The freshman mechanical engineering major is the third person in his family to attend Fresno State. His two brothers are Bulldog alumni and his mother is a 14-year staff member.
“I chose to come to Fresno State because I wanted to continue the Bulldog tradition,” Tongson-Fernandez said.
His goal is to be another Tongson-Fernandez to succeed in the journey of higher education, while still finding himself along the way. That tradition and pride come together in this year’s homecoming theme of “Celebrating the Bulldog Legacy.”
His mom, Marie Tongson-Fernandez, is an administrative analyst, survey specialist for the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Her two 31-year-old twins graduated from Fresno State with degrees in kinesiology and food science.
The celebration begins Monday, Oct. 10 and continues throughout the week with activities for students and the community, highlighted by the homecoming football game at 7:45 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15 against San Jose State. Homecoming is extra special this year with the No. 15 jersey retirement of Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver and Fresno State alumnus Davante Adams during the homecoming game.
