GRADUATION: HONORING A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT
BLAKE CESARZ
Assistant Director of Learning Support Services
Earning a degree is a monumental achievement on its own, but it’s made all the more remarkable when you factor in the difficulties associated with having a learning difference.
In the last few years alone, hundreds of students have been able to graduate from the University of Arizona with support from the SALT Center. Not only have these students completed their programs to earn a college degree, but many have also performed with great distinction.
Since May of 2020, the average cumulative GPA for our graduates was a 3.14, and over 27% earned a 3.5 or higher. We couldn’t be prouder of these students and look forward to celebrating many more graduates in the years to come!
DID YOU KNOW?
We now present all students being honored at our graduation reception with a SALT Center stole that they can proudly wear with their cap and gown.
