On Monday, October 23, 2023, we were thrilled to host the “A Million Miles Away” Film Screening, featuring the esteemed UC Regent and retired astronaut José Hernández. Regent Hernández is the first migrant farmworker to make it to space and one of NASA’s few Latinx astronauts. The movie storyline develops from Hernández’s dad, who had a recipe of ingredients for success: 1) Find your goal; 2) Know how far you are; 3) Draw a roadmap; 4) If you don't know how, learn; and 5) When you think you've made it you probably have to work harder. In the Q&A at the end of the event, Regent Hernández shared the sixth ingredient: Persistence.
