Favorite memory from ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ 

  • I have many favorite memories from ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½. My first memory is arriving at San Jose Airport from Hawaii for the first time in September 1984. The only images of the University of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ (what ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ was called back then) was from a paper brochure. Seeing the University for the first time as the welcome van dropped my luggage and me in front of Swig is a memory that I will never forget. I have lifelong friends, memories and experiences from ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ which helped shape me into who I am today.
