The first Vietnamese American woman to serve on the San Jose City Council will speak at the graduation ceremony June 24 at the football field.
After being elected in 2002, former De Anza College professor Madison Nguyen focused on helping the Vietnamese American community.
"I have been working hard to maintain a good quality of life for ourselves and for our future generations," she said while in office.
Nguyen was the president of the Franklin-McKinley Board of Education. She served on the United Way Silicon Valley Community Advisory Board and the Asian American Community Advisory Council at the San Jose State University.
Nguyen and her family immigrated to the United States from Vietnam in the early 1980s. She received a bachelor's degree in history from the University of California Santa Cruz and a master's degree in social science from the University of Chicago.
