🎉🎓 BIG CONGRATS to MYRA SALDANA! 🎓🎉

This past weekend, Myra Saldana crossed the stage and claimed her Bachelor of Applied Technology in Medical & Health Services Management from South Texas College—and we couldn't be prouder! 💪💙💼

Not only did Myra crush it academically, but she also held it down as a direct wage superstar on the Digital Learning Department Help Desk! Whether it was solving tech issues with a smile or going the extra mile to support students and faculty, Myra showed us what true dedication looks like—day in and day out.

She juggled coursework, deadlines, and help desk duties like a pro—and somehow still managed to bring good vibes to every meeting, every shift, every task.

🚀 Your hustle, heart, and drive are inspiring, Myra. The Digital Learning team is cheering you on as you take the next big step in your journey. The healthcare world better get ready—because here comes a leader with purpose and power!

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS, CELESTE FAJARDO! 🎉

Please join us in celebrating Celeste Fajardo on her amazing achievements—graduating from South Texas College with her Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing this past weekend and taking part in her Pinning Ceremony on Monday to mark her transition from being a student to joining the nursing profession! 👩‍⚕️🎓💙

Celeste has been an absolute rockstar on the Digital Learning Department Help Desk team, where she balanced her responsibilities as a direct wage employee with the intense demands of nursing school—no small feat! Her hard work, dedication, and resilience have inspired all of us.

Whether she was helping students and faculty troubleshoot with patience and a smile, or hitting the books late into the night, Celeste showed us what it means to stay focused, determined, and passionate about your goals.

We’re so proud of you, Celeste—and we know this is only the beginning of an incredible nursing career. 👏👏👏
