UTEP is making history with its largest-ever graduating class—over 2,900 degrees awarded this weekend! What stands out isn’t just the numbers, but the incredible stories behind them. From Linda Rout, who earned her master’s in aerospace engineering at 52 after overcoming homelessness, to Carlos Villa, who crossed the border daily as a child and now becomes a nurse practitioner, and Estevan Nieto, who balanced 3 a.m. shifts with a perfect GPA—these grads prove that grit and determination can change lives. How do their journeys inspire you, and what challenges have you overcome in your own path? #Education #College #UTEP
