At UT Permian Basin, we love celebrating our incredible alumni, and this week’s Falcon Alumni Network (F.A.N.) Friday spotlight is on Daisy Sanchez, a Class of 2024 graduate, former Falcon soccer player, and this year’s Senior Class Giving Raffle winner! 🎉
A Falcon’s Journey: From Student-Athlete to Legal Professional
Daisy’s time at UTPB was filled with valuable learning experiences and personal growth. As a student-athlete on the Falcon soccer team, she learned the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—skills that have seamlessly transitioned into her professional career.
After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Daisy quickly stepped into the legal field, where she now works as a Legal Assistant at Dunham & Jones. Though her time as a student has come to an end, she still carries the Falcon spirit with her every day!
UTPB Memories & Advice for Future Falcons
Reflecting on her time at UTPB, Daisy shared how much she enjoyed the experience and how she learned so much along the way. When asked what advice she’d give to current students and recent grads, she kept it simple but powerful:
"Don’t give up, give it your all, it will all be worth it!"
Her words remind us all that hard work and determination always pay off—whether in the classroom, on the field, or in life beyond college.
Winning the Senior Class Giving Raffle
As a strong supporter of giving back, Daisy participated in the Senior Class Giving Campaign, an initiative encouraging graduating seniors to leave a lasting impact on UTPB. Her participation paid off in more ways than one—she was selected as the winner of a FREE class ring! 💍🎓
Now, with her UTPB ring in hand, she’ll always have a symbol of her time as a Falcon Forever.
Once a Falcon, Always a Falcon
Daisy’s story is just one of many inspiring journeys from UTPB alumni who are making a difference in their careers and communities. We are so proud of her accomplishments and can’t wait to see where her future takes her!
Let’s all give a huge congratulations to Daisy! 🎉
🦅 Are you a UTPB alum with a story to share? We’d love to hear from you! Stay connected with the Falcon Alumni Network and be part of the legacy.
