“We started with a jungle of weeds, and two hours later it was back to being a beautiful garden," said Susan Ko-Velez, the Class of 2018 student government treasurer. “In this spirit of cooperation and dedication, we hope that the students continue to work hard in all their endeavors as they accelerate through the program.”
