The design on the cover of this program is a depiction of the achievement of a higher education through our long and hard struggles. The center of this piece depicts the cultural pride and the great stability which is symbolized through our Aztec Gods, and the massive strength of our ancesteral pyramids which still stand today. This strength is enhanced and given more strength through the knowledge we have attained and is represented by the open book located at the base of the pyramid.
