Today I am not writing as a staff member or alumni, but a proud sister. A sister to a graduating Senior. Leslie began her journey at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ back in 2002 when we came to drop off our older brother for his freshman orientation.

In 2016, Leslie committed to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and has been fortunate to have had so many opportunities over the last four years. She is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a minor in Ethnic Studies. During her time at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ she worked both on-campus and off-campus. She also held internships through Safe Passage and the Boys and Girls Club. Leslie will be starting her Masters Program in Public Policy and Administration this fall also at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½. In the future she wants to work for a non-profit that works with underprivileged youth.

Thanks to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, the Madrigal Siblings are proud to be First Generation College Graduates and are thankful that Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ helped them discover their purpose. #CalLutheranCares #trioworks
