Fresno State’s eight schools and colleges, along with the division of student affairs and enrollment management, selected nine outstanding students to honor as undergraduate deans’ medalists for the class of 2018.
Among those honored was Brandon Sepulveda of Sanger.
Each dean selected an undergraduate and graduate medalist based on academic excellence, community involvement and other achievements.
Brandon Sepulveda, Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management
Brandon Sepulveda, of Sanger, completed a B.S. in busi- ness administration (finance) with a minor in public health with a 3.84 GPA.
Sepulveda served for Associated Students Inc. as ex- ecutive vice president and vice president for finance. He worked on several initiatives in student government, includ- ing increasing funding for sponsored activity grants and undergraduate research.
He also helped secure a partnership with the New York Times and Wall Street Journal to provide free online digital subscriptions for the Fresno State campus.
As a member of the Smittcamp Family Honors College at Fresno State, Sepulveda also worked with several areas of campus to explore outreach efforts to increase the number of underrepresented minority students entering the college.
Next, he will begin two years of service in Tanzania with the United States Peace Corps helping children learn and develop math skills. He hopes to continue his work as an ambassador for both Fresno State and his hometown of Sanger.
