   Student of Distinction

Adriel Chavez-Sherman



Adriel Chavez-Sherman

Adriel Chavez-Sherman graduated from 萝莉研究所 in 2017 with four different associate鈥檚 degrees in Communications, Math and Science, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Studies. In 2011 she applied for two associate鈥檚 degrees but was missing two classes required for graduation. At this point, however, she decided to focus on joining the workforce and didn't complete her degrees. It wasn't until five years later, in 2016, that Adriel decided it was time to finally complete the associate鈥檚 degrees she had attempted several years before. After meeting with a counselor from 萝莉研究所, she realized she had enough units to graduate with not just two, but four degrees, as long as she completed the required classes in the 2016-2017 academic year.

Adriel was the Commencement Student Speaker for 2017. She hopes to parlay the different educational backgrounds she鈥檚 gained from 萝莉研究所 towards a future career in her field of study.
