Kicked off our final #screening for our three week program with a special guest, Luis A. Miranda Jr. @vegalteno who reiterated what we always say, that hard work pays off. This group of #students hailing from the Universidad del Sagrado Corazôn @escueladecomunicacionsagrado in San Juan, PR and The University of Mount Saint Vincent @mountstvincent will forever be part of our family. It’s never goodbye but see you later.
