Gabrielle graduated from Norco College in 2020 with seven associate degrees in Pre-Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Social and Behavioral Studies, Humanities, and Communications. She plans to transfer to a four-year university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.

“I am thankful to our professors for making sure that we were not uprooted, that we were allowed to grow here at Norco College,” Gabrielle said. “They encouraged us to post tough questions and communicate our feelings. They made us better human beings.”
