This morning, Yalil Nieves (MA ’10, EdD ’26) walked the graduation stage for the fourth time—but she wasn’t alone.

At the School of Education commencement ceremony, her son, Norberto Nieves (MEd ’26), also earned his Master’s in Community Counseling.

"Seeing him graduate, it's one thing, but seeing him graduate in a field that's going to allow him to be of service to others ... I think that gives me even more pride." — Yalil Nieves
