There are no numbers; it\u2019s all concepts. It was so challenging and hard, but I got so close to my cohort of friends in the class. Every Thursday, we would go to the Math Learning Center for four hours. We\u2019d get into these long discussions about math and the board would be filled with ideas, concepts, and symbols. We were just mathematicians present in the moment. It felt magical, honestly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Future plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My dream for the future is to be a high school math teacher. There\u2019s nothing more important for me than giving back. I had such amazing math teachers in high school, and I want to be that teacher for someone else.

If I\u2019m immersed, I could actually learn and be able to speak the language.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-lines-gray\" style=\"top:0;bottom:0;left:-100%;right:-100%;height:auto;width:auto\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta  wsu-text-align--center wsu-position--relative\" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"#\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button wsu-custom-button\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tBack To Top\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div><\/section>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section wsu-width--full wsu-color-background--white wsu-spacing-top--large wsu-spacing-after--none\" id=\"salazar\" >\r\n    <div class=\"wsu-section__inner wsu-width--content\">    \n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-spacing-top--default wsu-spacing-bottom--default wsu-spacing-after--xxmedium wsu-row--sidebar-right\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-top--default wsu-spacing-bottom--medium\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-max-width--xxmedium wsu-video-section\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-custom-heading\" >\r\n    \n\n<h2>Gisselle Salazar<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-custom-award-category\">Award Category: Campus Involvement<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-custom-subhead wsu-font-color--gray-60\" >\r\n    \n\n<p>College of Arts and Sciences<br>Political science pre-law and comparative ethnic studies<br>WSU Pullman<br>Pasco, Washington&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3>Involvement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of diversity, inclusion, &amp; veteran affairs, ASWSU; director of legislative affairs for ASWSU; vice president of Legislative Affairs, Washington Student Association;&nbsp; hotline volunteer, Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network; Centro Latino Institute For Public Policy, Training, &amp; Education; cabinet member, MECHA de WSU; recipient, College Assistant Migrant Program (CAMP); tutor, Pasco School district; advocate and communication chair, Crimson Group for the undocumented community;&nbsp; WSU CAMP representative, US Hispanic Leadership Institute; student mentor, Chicanx\/Latinx Student Center; student representative, WSU Parking &amp; Transportation Task Force Committee; winner, Presidential Student Civic Leadership Award; winner, WSU President\u2019s Award Leadership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why I chose WSU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I attended one of the Children of Aztlan Sharing Higher Education (CASHE) conferences in high school, and I got accepted to WSU through the conference. CASHE is a leadership conference put on by MECHA de WSU that encourages Latinx high school students to pursue college. I considered other schools, but WSU had that sense of community, where you could find your home away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Future plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to go to law school. Next year, I\u2019ll be working and studying for the LSAT. I\u2019m interested in social justice and immigration law, and&nbsp;I want to have my own law firm. I\u2019d also like to partner with others, so it\u2019s not just a law firm but a place where people can go for workshops on financial planning or to learn about community resources that are available.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-padding-left--none wsu-spacing-padding-right--none wsu-spacing-top--hero\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-position--relative wsu-spacing-after--large\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-wsu wsu-hide--desktop\" style=\"top:30%;bottom:-5vw;left:-5vw;height:auto;width:calc( 75% + 5vw)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator wsu-decorator--salazar wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-dark\" style=\"top:-5vw;bottom:-5vw;left:50%;height:auto;width:calc( 150% + 180px)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n\n<div class=\"wsu-video-player wsu-ratio--9-16 wsu-style--framed\" data-type=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"eCce6n49m4Q\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-background\"><\/div>\n                <img class=\"wsu-video-player__image\" alt=\"Play a video of Gisselle Salazar\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/3256\/2023\/04\/web-aspect_0000s_0003_Giselle.jpg\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <button class=\"wsu-video-player__button wsu-video-player--play\">\n                    <span class=\"wsu-video-player__button-inner\">Play Gisselle Salazar&#8217;s Video<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-lines-gray\" style=\"top:0;bottom:0;left:-100%;right:-100%;height:auto;width:auto\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta  wsu-text-align--center wsu-position--relative\" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"#\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button wsu-custom-button\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tBack To Top\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div><\/section>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section wsu-width--full wsu-color-background--white wsu-spacing-top--large wsu-spacing-after--none\" id=\"zadzora\" >\r\n    <div class=\"wsu-section__inner wsu-width--content\">    \n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--sidebar-left\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-top--hero wsu-spacing-padding-left--none wsu-spacing-padding-right--none\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-position--relative wsu-spacing-after--large\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-wsu wsu-hide--desktop\" style=\"top:30%;bottom:-5vw;right:-5vw;height:auto;width:calc( 75% + 5vw)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator wsu-decorator--zadzora wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-dark\" style=\"top:-5vw;bottom:-5vw;right:50%;height:auto;width:calc( 150% + 180px)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n\n<div class=\"wsu-video-player wsu-ratio--9-16 wsu-style--framed\" data-type=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"0mMfKbYZips\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-background\"><\/div>\n                <img class=\"wsu-video-player__image\" alt=\"Play a video of Maddi Zadzora\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/3256\/2023\/04\/web-aspect_0000s_0004_Maddi.jpg\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <button class=\"wsu-video-player__button wsu-video-player--play\">\n                    <span class=\"wsu-video-player__button-inner\">Play Maddi Zadzora&#8217;s Video<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-bottom--medium\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-align-item--right wsu-max-width--xxmedium wsu-video-section\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-custom-heading\" >\r\n    \n\n<h2>Madelynn &#8220;Maddi&#8221;

It was two weeks long, and it was in a non-tourist town in the Piedmont region. I performed at least a couple of times in festival showcases as well as in some master classes. After the festival, most of us from the flute studio went to Florence for several days. The entire experience was beautiful and amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Future plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I will start working full time at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories as an associate software engineer. I look forward to continuing with the Washington Idaho Symphony. I want to stay involved in music as much as I can. I want to perform concerts with my friends and peers and sing in caf\u00e9s and at the Moscow Farmers Market.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-padding-left--none wsu-spacing-padding-right--none wsu-spacing-top--hero\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-position--relative wsu-spacing-after--large\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-wsu wsu-hide--desktop\" style=\"top:30%;bottom:-5vw;left:-5vw;height:auto;width:calc( 75% + 5vw)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator wsu-decorator--berreth wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-dark\" style=\"top:-5vw;bottom:-5vw;left:50%;height:auto;width:calc( 150% + 180px)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n\n<div class=\"wsu-video-player wsu-ratio--9-16 wsu-style--framed\" data-type=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"tSCmCTnk0sk\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-background\"><\/div>\n                <img class=\"wsu-video-player__image\" alt=\"Play a video of Jacob Berreth\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/3256\/2023\/04\/mobile-aspects_0000s_0008_Jake-2.jpg\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <button class=\"wsu-video-player__button wsu-video-player--play\">\n                    <span class=\"wsu-video-player__button-inner\">Play Jacob Berreth&#8217;s Video<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-lines-gray\" style=\"top:0;bottom:0;left:-100%;right:-100%;height:auto;width:auto\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta  wsu-text-align--center wsu-position--relative\" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"#\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button wsu-custom-button\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tBack To Top\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div><\/section>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section wsu-width--full wsu-color-background--white wsu-spacing-top--large wsu-spacing-after--none\" id=\"nealon\" >\r\n    <div class=\"wsu-section__inner wsu-width--content\">    \n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--sidebar-left\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-top--hero wsu-spacing-padding-left--none wsu-spacing-padding-right--none\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-position--relative wsu-spacing-after--large\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-wsu wsu-hide--desktop\" style=\"top:30%;bottom:-5vw;right:-5vw;height:auto;width:calc( 75% + 5vw)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator wsu-decorator--nealon wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-dark\" style=\"top:-5vw;bottom:-5vw;right:50%;height:auto;width:calc( 150% + 180px)\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n\n<div class=\"wsu-video-player wsu-ratio--9-16 wsu-style--framed\" data-type=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"2uy2utwYzOc\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-background\"><\/div>\n                <img class=\"wsu-video-player__image\" alt=\"Play a video of Chloe Nealon\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/3256\/2023\/04\/web-aspect_0000s_0000_Chloe.jpg\">\n                <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"wsu-video-player__video\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <button class=\"wsu-video-player__button wsu-video-player--play\">\n                    <span class=\"wsu-video-player__button-inner\">Play Chloe Nealon&#8217;s Video<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-bottom--medium\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-align-item--right wsu-max-width--xxmedium wsu-video-section\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-custom-heading\" >\r\n    \n\n<h2>Chloe Nealon<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-custom-award-category\">Award Category: Visual\/Performing Arts<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container wsu-custom-subhead wsu-font-color--gray-60\" >\r\n    \n\n<p>College of Arts and Sciences<br>Fine Arts, Spanish Language for Professions<br>WSU Pullman<br>Richland, Washington<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3>Involvement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice president and president of Art Club; poster designer for the&nbsp;Moscow Film Society; undergraduate learning assistant for Fine Arts 101&nbsp;and 201; Spokane Print Fest 2022 and 2023; BFA Thesis Exhibition 2023; Warren Roberts Endowed Scholarship; Frances Drake Endowed Scholarship for Undergraduates; Leonard H.

There is no place quite like this place anywhere near this place, so this must be the place.\u201d&nbsp;There are great facilities and great people working here, and the Art Club meets here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Future plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am going to Boise State in August to start my MFA.
