My BSW graduation and acceptance into the MSW program, of course. Another memorable moment is the Aztec Nights at Templo del Sol. It was a humbling and joyful moment.

Describe why you would recommend SDSU to potential students.
SDSU operates with a functional family setting atmosphere. The faculty and staff care tremendously for the education and success of students. Students are treated with respect and their points of views are always sought.
