Meet our 2023 Dean's Medalists
Graduate Dean's Medalist
Xilang Yang earned her M.S.W. in social work. She previously earned a B.S. in criminology, with an option in victimology, from Fresno State. Her Hmong heritage inspired her to advocate for culturally sensitive, mental health access within the Central Valley. In the near future, she aspires to become a licensed clinical social worker and obtain a doctorate in social work, enabling her to create programs and safe houses for victims of human trafficking and domestic violence.
Undergraduate Dean's Medalist
Cherika Gamble earned her B.S. in health science, with an option in community health. She also double majored in women's, gender and sexuality studies with the goal of advocating for disadvantaged and oppressed communities who lack healthcare access and basic rights.
