Leobardo Gomez, an architecture major from Palmdale, California, will be graduating with a certificate in Creative Technology and Design. Gomez plans to get a master's degree and an architecture license to open his own practice. 

One of my favorite memories was heading down to Taos, New Mexico with my classmates to visit the Lama Foundation. Our last day meeting our clients at the Lama Foundation was hilarious as we spent an hour there trying to get our vehicle free because it got stuck in the snow.
