He talked about Student Life (Trips, Red & Blue, Rock the Core, Day of the Dead) Academic Programs (Student Council, NHS, TEDx), and where our Graduates are right now (46% International Universities and 54% National Universities). We also had special guests participating in the panel and we want to thank them for their participation.
