Rubi Garcia lets us follow her journey as a USC undergraduate and the first in her family to attend college
From her South Los Angeles high school through her graduation from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences this month, we followed first-generation college student Rubi Garcia through the years.
