WHY GONZALEZ CHOSE SANTA CLARA: “The most impactful reason I chose Santa Clara University was the amazing academics offered at this prestigious university. The reason this school became an option for me was the generous financial aid package I was lucky enough to have received. Lastly, the athletics program drew me into this university and I am so lucky to have been recruited in a class filled with so much talent.”
