A text message recieved seconds after shaking hands with my college’s chancellor. “Ya era hora que te pusiste las pilas. Ahora vete cambiar el mundo mijo”- Irma (Mother/Momma/Moms)
“Bro, you’re such a social chameleon. You vibe with scholars, athletes, kids, and ballers. You adapt to any environment. Truly is an art watching you speak with different circles of people.” – Oscar Aguilar (Dominguez Hills Alumni)
“Ivan was a fantastic member of the campaign team. He was always enthusiastic and performed everything asked of him very well. He helped me greatly with volunteer outreach and voter outreach as well. In the days leading up to the election, Ivan kept up with the frantic pace of work. He exceeded our expectations as a marketing intern. I am so glad to have had him as a member of the Foley Campaign.’ – Adam Cavecche (Field Director for the Foley For State Senate Campaign)
“Having taught for over 20 years and having managed teams in the private sector for over 25 years, I have come across very few students, or communications professionals for that matter, with Ivan’s pure and unbridled desire to learn, to continue to better himself, to create, to grow, and to embrace all that life brings. He is relentlessly curious, creative, and disciplined, which I believe are the marks of an individual that will continue to grow by leaps and bounds as they progress through life and career challenges. I can truly say that meeting Ivan, working with him, and getting to know who he is has been one of the highlights of my industry and teaching career. Every once in a while, as a teacher, you come across a student who, in a way, feels more like a teacher than a student. That is Ivan. He exudes original, humble, engaging, and creative leadership. It is simply who he is.” – Chris Russo CSUDH Communications Faculty/Integrated Communications Manager/Corporate Communications/Management Trainer.
“You’re the BEST, Ivan! I’m so glad this program connected the two of us. Thank you for your thought-provoking questions, go-getter attitude, and your enthusiasm to learn.” – Kelsey Kretzer (Director, Paid Search at Wpromote)
