CREO along with Angelo State University students A.M.A.S. (Association of Mexican American Students) sponsored a luncheon in honor of former United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Gonzales was the guest speaker for the luncheon. His message was on education. He came from humble beginnings and was the only one in his family to graduate from college. He attended Rice University and then Harvard Law School. His main message was to motivate students to continue with their education, whatever they want to be can be done with dedication and hard work. He is an example of this.
