🎓 Adriel Bustillos (MPAff ’26) is graduating with a passion for public service that traces back to the fourth grade, when he watched Wendy Davis run for Texas governor.

After graduation, Adriel is staying in Austin to serve as Director of Operations and Senior Research Fellow with MASBA–School Board Members for Latino Leadership, a role that is closely connected to the communities and issues that matter most to him.

Adriel’s advice to current and future students: “Do not convince yourself that you are too young, too old, too inexperienced, or too far removed to belong here. You are here for a reason.” 🤘
