At Rio Salado College, so many of our students have inspiring stories to share. This year’s 2022 Class of 2022 Student Commencement Speaker Cordero Holmes is no exception—his life proves F. Scott Fitzgerald was wrong when he wrote “there are no second acts in American life.”
A devoted father, husband, and full-time employee, Holmes got his start taking classes while he was incarcerated.

“I never thought that college was a place for me,” Holmes wrote in "A Second Chance at Education," an essay published last fall by Higher Learning Advocates. “Instead, as a teen, I envisioned myself selling drugs, robbing people, and spending most of my days in prison.” As an adult, Holmes walks a very different path now. The man who never thought college was a place for him is now such a diligent student that he was recognized this year as a 2022 All-Arizona Academic Scholar and also was a recipient for the Coca-Cola Academic Team Scholarship.
