Graduation to many of us is far away and very dim. But for those
graduating, quite clearly the question might be where will our
education take and lead us. Will what has been successful to us in
college distinguish us further?
Attempting to answer these questions are the men and women who
were once Aztecs on campus and now distinguish themselves further,
giving San Diego State the name which it now enjoys.
We therefore dedicate this section to the presentation of several
of these people and their achievements.
