[00:00:01] ROCHELLE REYNOLDSON:
When I saw my mom graduate while she was working full-time and raising a family, it motivated me and let me know that I could do it too. I was born and raised in San Bernardino County, and so after graduating, I was able to find the opportunities for my profession and stay close to my family. For our family to be three generations of Coyotes was important to me.

After my mom graduated and I graduated nursing, I came back for my master's, and I knew I wanted my girls to be here, be a part of the legacy of this school. There are many financial opportunities to fund- Education at Cal State San Bernardino. Our family has used financial aid, scholarships, and grants.

I encouraged my daughters to come to Cal State San Bernardino because of my experience through the nursing program and the master's program. I knew that my feeling of being on campus, that they would have the same feeling. It feels comforting, it's close to home, and it's a place where you can get a great education.

To watch my daughters follow in my footsteps here at Cal State San Bernardino has made me a very proud mom.
