identities they hold. Hernández was born in LA, then grew up in Las Vegas. They first heard about PLU from a best friend’s sister. At a college fair, they learned about PLU’s commitment to equity, justice, and diversity—along with the mission statement that states the importance of care for the earth. After visiting in the spring, they were sold, enchanted by Washington’s trees and mountains, and PLU’s Red Square and communication program. “It felt like home,” Hernández says. A few weeks ago, they

,” Harris said. “While most people who are going to graduate school are preparing their junior and senior year of college, I did not. I was studying abroad the end of my junior year (and) coming back to PLU in the fall of my final year was full of staying on track and doing what I needed to graduate undergrad — it was hard for me to think past what I was already engulfed in.

was generous with a financial aid package and credit for my International Baccalaureate (IB) classes. So, I’m graduating in three years thanks to a year of college credit.

As consolation, the Trinidad and Tobago native dreamed of figuring out a way to go back to school part-time in a few years.
