Daniel Garcia Lopez will graduate May 1 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Advertising, a minor in Graphic Design and a certificate in User Experience. Originally from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, Garcia Lopez moved to Bowling Green seven years ago and knew WKU was where he wanted to go to college.
“Moving here to the States unlocked so many opportunities for all of us, especially for my sister and I,” Garcia Lopez said. His mother received a promotion for work which meant he and his younger sister would move with her to Bowling Green.
“Back in Honduras, you can only dream of a college education here in the States. Not only that, but even after, just, actually getting to do what you wanted to do.” Garcia explained that in some countries you have to study out of the necessity of the profession rather than going to college to explore your their passion. “My future is so much brighter now that I live in the States.”
