Richard Fuentes '21

Richard Fuentes graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelors of interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis in biology, communications, and psychology. During his undergraduate experience he grew curious about drug policy reform and changing the stigma around drug use, to cultivate a society that puts science and compassion first. After starting a chapter and graduating his work with SSDP continues today where he serves as an elected director. As a naturally curious person, Richard is in the process of blending his interests in research, activism, and medicine. “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ― Rumi
