ACTOR AND ACTIVIST DIANE GUERRERO RECEIVES HONORARY DEGREE

Guerrero’s long road to and from Regis is well documented in her bestselling book In the Country We Love: My Family Divided. The autobiography is filled with heartbreaking stories including the most formative point of her life, when the government sent her family back to their native Colombia when she was just 14 years old. Guerrero’s perseverance enabled her to achieve incredible success both personally and professionally, and she has leveraged that success to advocate for others and be a force for good.

Guerrero was presented with an honorary degree at Regis’ 2018 Commencement ceremony and also gave the Commencement address. “Regis was my home when I didn’t have one,” Guerrero said to the Class of 2018 during her speech. “Regis gave me opportunities that I didn’t think possible. Regis instilled in me an attitude of perseverance ... and a group of friends that I’ll have forever.”
