We’re celebrating the friendships that begin at UTRGV and continue to grow long after graduation. 🤠

Angie met Maribel in 2023 in Dr. Perez’s Evolution course and later met Jackie in Dr. Soti’s Ecology class. From there, the three became close friends, taking classes together and spending time in the Student Union with coffee and snacks between classes. ☕️

“These girls are the best people I could’ve spent my years at UTRGV with.”

After graduating in 2025, Angie moved to Florida while Jackie and Maribel continued their studies. But distance hasn’t changed their bond. 🌎🤝

“Even though we’re now states apart, it feels like our friendship hasn’t changed at all.”
