CSUN Graduates Who
 Overcame the Odds -- 2000

Cal State Northridge students, in general, are hard-working, tenacious and dedicated. But each year, there are some who overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reach their goal of achieving a university degree.

“This truly is the epitome of the modern university in an urban setting. People with different backgrounds, different socioeconomic levels, religions, places of birth--different everything--come together and it all seems to culminate at graduation,” said Fred Strache, CSUN interim vice president for student affairs at CSUN.

Here are the stories of just a few of CSUN’s many extraordinary graduates for the year 2000 (click photo for full profile):
