More than 360 graduates participated in commencement exercises amid a blast of confetti, Mariachi music and inspiring speeches on Friday at Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum.

Erika Prosper Nirenberg, Senior Director of Customer Insights for H-E-B, delivered the commencement address. The daughter of a migrant worker family from the Rio Grande Valley, Prosper Nirenberg challenged graduates to live boldly, urging them, at times in Spanish, to create a future to benefit humanity. 

Her husband, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, sat proudly on the coliseum floor, cheering on his wife with the rest of the audience.
