Gregorio

Last year we were thrilled to celebrate the achievements of Gregorio, an alumni member from the CORE “Dreamer” cohort, who graduated from UNLV with his B.A. in Political Science after just two years! Gregorio was able to accomplish this goal through his participation in the CSN High School program, where he earned college credits throughout his last two years as a high school student. Currently, Gregorio is getting ready to take a gap year to prepare for the LSAT and law school applications. He plans to pursue work as a public defender, and notes that there is a critical shortage of qualified public defense attorneys for those in need.  Gregorio’s clear vision of his altruistic professional goals helped him win the Clifton Dickens Law & Legal Studies Award at the 2021 Rogers Foundation Scholarship Awards. When asked what he’s most excited about after graduation, Gregorio says, “I’m excited to get into law school and then start helping people, graduation makes me feel like I can achieve my goals.”
