This year, second year CNAS student, Lauryn, nominated her mother. Linda, and her father, Neal, to be considered for UCR’s Parents of the Year. Their dedication to their daughters, their daughter’s education, and their community made this an easy decision! Congrats to Neal & Linda! by @highlanderfamilynetwork
