Sather and Sandoval graduate with honors

SAN DIEGO – Of the nearly 9,600 graduates who walked across the stage during San Diego State University's commencement ceremonies last week, only a select group earned recognition as honors graduates, including two from Fallbrook.

Graduating "with honors" is the sign of a student who has made the most of their time at SDSU, enjoying transformational experiences and preparing them for a successful future, whether they are joining the workforce or exploring an advanced degree.

Local students graduating with honors from SDSU include

Krista Sather, who received a degree in hospitality and tourism management and graduated cum laude, and Janeva Sandoval, who received a degree in nursing and also graduated cum laude. The graduates are also Fallbrook High School alumni.

Based on a 4.0 GPA scale, the distinction of summa cum laude is awarded to undergraduate students with an average of at least 3.8; magna cum laude is awarded to undergraduate students with an average of at least 3.65; and cum laude is awarded to undergraduate students with an average of at least 3.5. Some results are still pending final grades.
