As the University of Utah’s commencement passes, students anxiously prepare for their post-graduation goals. Elizabeth Morales is one of them, but she’s different from the average graduate.

Morales is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in ethnic studies in communication. As a first-generation college student and having been accepted to four different university’s masters programs, her goals don’t end at graduation.

Throughout her college experience at the U, she has been heavily involved in many student organizations.

One of her greatest accomplishments on campus includes her involvement with Lassonde Entrepreneur Studios. There, she was able to work for four years to begin a mentor cohort.
