"Menlo College has more than its share of special people. The administration, faculty, staff, and students all feature individuals whose diligence makes learning a journey instead of a sentence."
- Ernest Abeytia '11

After active duty in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam era, Ernest Abeytia began a 33-year career in the semiconductor industry.
