Christian Hernández Barragán, a theatre and government double major from Santa Rosa, Calif., was selected by his peers to serve as the 2024 class speaker. He spoke about the importance of collecting stories from one’s experiences.

In coming to a place he knew nothing about, he had his share of panicked moments when he first arrived. “But what really mattered was that amidst my other emotions and feelings, I was excited. Excited to enter an environment that was new and full of unknowns. In my head, I knew that this would make a good story to tell someday.
