Student of the Month: Mario Vasquez

Mario Vasquez is as a dedicated student, a delightful person and a joy in class. Dr. Pamela Reynolds writes, “One of the things that I especially admire about him is the consideration he gives to alternative points of view. Mario has frequently stopped by my office hours to discuss the way his opinions have been changed or broadened by class materials and discussions. He is making the most of his educational opportunities.”  Prior to CSULB, Mario served 15 years in the Army and Army National Guard and was deployed to Iraq 3 times. He works as a substance abuse counselor at the Long Beach VA Hospital and recently was accepted into the CSULB Masters in Social Work program.
