Another pair of Vaquero Besties! 🤝✨

Alumna Eva Cano shared the story of her friendship with Marisol, which began in the Rehabilitative Services program. What started as a college connection became a friendship that has lasted more than two decades, filled with support, laughter, and countless memories.

“Our friendship has truly stood the test of time. I'm so grateful that our journey began in the Rehabilitative Services program.” — Eva, Class of 2003

For alumna Krystina Rangel, a seat at the same table during her first education class at UTRGV led to friendships that grew far beyond the classroom. United by their passion for becoming teachers and making a difference, Krystina and her friends created memories that will last a lifetime, including a study abroad experience in Spain.

“We found ourselves in each other. We all carried the same dream and still do. We want to be teachers and make a change.” — Krystina Rangel, Class of 2026
