✨Class of 2026 ✨
It’s hard to believe it has been over one month since we celebrated Stanford’s Class of 2026 during El Centro’s Nuestra Graduación! 🎓We were honored to recognize 191 students and host over 1,200 guests!
Familia always ensures their graduates look their best.
Mariana Lizbeth De León Dominguez, J.D. became part of the 3% of lawyers in the U.S. who are Latina! 💼🎓
Smiles all around during the joyous moment! 🎉
Nuestra Graduación is a special graduation celebration. Each year, every graduate has the opportunity to walk across the stage with two chosen Loved ones. During the procession, the graduate provides each person a stole to symbolize the Love, care, and support provided during their academic journey.
¡Esto es un triunfo de todos! ✨🎓
