SDSU Alumni

Thank you to everyone who joined to kick off the season with a series of Coaches Caravans! It was a great turnout at all of our Caravan locations as Head Football Coach Sean Lewis and Athletic Director JD Wicker shared their experiences and insights as they looked ahead to the upcoming season with fellow Aztecs at each stop.

From underwater marine research to wildlife conservation and future medical care, Isaac Torres, Cesar Daniel Edeza, and Melissa Sicairos Bobadilla are proving there’s no limit to where an SDSU STEM degree can lead.

After beginning their journeys at Southwestern College, the trio found mentorship, research opportunities, and community through SDSU’s STEM Pathways program. This unique program offers support to transfer students, helping them turn their passions into a reality.

Now, they’re graduating prepared to protect oceans, care for animals, and serve future patients across their communities.

Three generations of Aztecs, one incredible legacy. 🎓♥️

Mother and daughter duo Marceline Sciuto ('84, '94, '26) and Micaela Ruiz ('26) crossed the graduation stage together this past weekend at San Diego State University's 2026 Commencement.

Marceline earned her doctorate in educational leadership, 41 years after receiving her undergraduate degree from SDSU and decades after earning her master’s from the university as well, making her a proud triple alumna. Beside her in this milestone moment was her daughter, Micaela, who celebrated earning her MBA.

Their story began with Marceline’s father, who spent 17 years taking night classes before graduating from SDSU in 1975. Though he passed away earlier this year, his determination and love for education continue to inspire the generations that followed. Marceline's other daughter Angelina ('25), earned her master's degree from SDSU, and the family includes numerous other .

Their story is a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and that some legacies only grow stronger with time.
