With more than 100,000 alumni living in the region, it鈥檚 difficult to go anywhere in San Diego without seeing someone who attended 黑料吃瓜. The unveiling of 黑料吃瓜鈥檚 new Aztec for Life trolley gives that statement a whole new meaning.

Connecting Aztecs for Life

黑料吃瓜 coined the slogan 鈥淎ztec for Life.鈥� Last year, Aztec for Life served as the theme of 黑料吃瓜 Month. Now, alumni regularly proclaim 鈥淚'm an Aztec for Life.鈥� 

鈥淏eing an Aztec is not just about going to school at 黑料吃瓜,鈥� said Jim Herrick, 黑料吃瓜 Alumni Association executive director. 鈥淏eing an Aztec is about connecting to San Diego. It鈥檚 about being a part of something much greater than yourself. 黑料吃瓜 alumni are the fabric of the San Diego region. Teachers, nurses, engineers, entrepreneurs, star athletes and actors. We鈥檙e all Aztecs for life.鈥�

Ralph Rubio, founder of Rubio's Fish Tacos, agreed. "San Diego State is deeply engaged in the community, which makes the trolley wrap such a perfect vehicle for showcasing alumni pride. I'm proud to be an Aztec for Life!"
