First Generation Students Move on to Exciting Next Chapters
The David T. Kearns Center profiled Hajim School graduates who are off to exciting next steps.
Kearns Scholar Oswald Garcia ’24 (electrical and computer engineering) is headed to Chandler, Arizona after landing an engineering job at the global tech company Arm. The setting will be familiar for Oswald since he spent last summer completing a hardware engineering internship at the company. As the first person from his family to graduate from college, Oswald said sharing the news with his parents, who immigrated to the United States from El Salvador, was unforgettable.
“Right after I got off the call, I quickly called my parents, and I said, ‘I got the job offer’ and they started crying and I started crying,” he said. “It was an emotional rollercoaster. I definitely think it was a big relief and weight off my shoulders.”
