Francisco Gallegos graduates this December with his master’s degree in culturally and linguistically diverse education. While a graduate student in the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD), Gallegos challenged the status quo and promoted bilingual education—while earning a 4.0 GPA. Two of his professors—Liz Mahon, PhD, and Sheila Shannon, PhD—summarized Gallegos’ academic achievements. “He has made strong contributions to curriculum innovation, policy recommendations aimed at social justice, and community activism to support the rights of bilingual and immigrant families,” they wrote.
