It is all extra that she volunteers for. She really cares about the students and tries to help us out. In her off time, Garoza can also be found hanging out at the Arts and Humanities House during coffeehouses, or compiling collages of pictures she takes of students to be hung outside the Record's Office in Irvine. On a campus like this, we need that. Garoza's view of education has greatly affected her involvement with student-initiated activities.
College is education, but it's also a business.
It's the business of providing our students with an education which includes academics and student life both. Even though Garoza will be gone for the next three weeks, she will be busy working on one of her infamous collages that she hopes builds up student pride. I'm working on one now that I hope Val will put up while I'm gone. I should be gone approximately three weeks, but sometimes you heal faster and sometimes you heal slower.
