So proud of my university! Go SDSU!
I’m very proud of SDSU for taking this action. I graduated from SDSU and so did my son and daughter-in-law. This is important to our family as my greataunt was Manzanar social welfare director and my daughter-in-law’s family was imprisoned at Minidoka. We do this for the sake of our children – Kodomo No Tame Ni.
