David Garcia-Tlahuel, a recent graduate and a 2022 Outstanding Undergraduate student, has much to be proud of. While at CSUSB’s satellite campus in Palm Desert, he was the first person to hold multiple positions including campus minister and student orientation coordinator, student assistant for the DEN Food Pantry and a graphic design and social media paraprofessional for the Office of Outreach and Student Recruitment. “CSUSB helped me figure out what I truly love and that is graphic design and photography,” Garcia-Tlahuel says. “Aside from my trade, I learned I loved being able to help and support our students.” He is looking forward to a career as a graphic designer and becoming a creative director, and he plans to do photography on the side. Ultimately, he hopes to obtain a master’s degree in business, entrepreneurship, the arts, design or communications.​ ​
