Commencement 2021

2021 Commencement Publication. Congratulations, class of 2021!

Shea Mack — Ayahna Shea Mack

My parents both grew up in a small town in Colima, Mexico and migrated to LA yet met here. I was their third child, and now the first to graduate from a University. I am grateful for the stepping stones and guidance they tried to provide, and honored to be able to map the journey out for those who come after me. — Isamar Ponce

This degree thing was harder than I thought. Shoutout to my parents though. — Ismael Romo

I dedicate my degree to my parents!!! Aunque ustedes no sabían lo que estaba estudiando la mitad del tiempo, su apoyo inquebrantable hizo que todo valiera la pena. :D — Jennifer Ivette Mendoza

"Jessica is graduating with a major in Geography and a minor in GIS. She transferred from Santa Monica College in 2018, aged 31.

Currently, she's supporting a water conservation study at the Desert Research Institute in a GIS role. Jess served as co-president of the UCLA Geography Club." — Jessica Josephine Perkins

Graduating in Geography/Environmental Studies with minors in Food Studies and Global Studies. Looking forward to culinary school on the horizon, and changing the world through food and sustainability beyond it. — John Andrew Lende

I just want to thank my family, friends and partner for being such an enormous support throughout these past 4 years + my research mentors that I have worked with through undergrad. My First-Gen self would not have been able to do this without your love and support, much love — Linda Maria Arroyo

"Thank you to my best homies, Paige and Leslie, and my boyfriend, William, for supporting me always and especially during my senior year. I am immensely and inexplicably grateful for my parents who have always cheered for me from when I was a tiny tap dancer to now as a UCLA graduate and future Yale Master’s student. Finally, thank you to Astrophysics for nearly getting me kicked out, but ultimately leading me to Geography." — Leah Rosa Andino

I found my way into a Bunche geography class my first year, and I knew I found my space at UCLA. To my village — my parents, Jonathan and my family near and far; to all the friends I have met along the way — thank you for the endless love and support. These last 4 years at UCLA have been a dream filled with memories I will cherish forever. I DID IT! — Laura Mariel Flores
