Eric is a junior in the Honors College, a Dean’s list student double majoring in Christianity and Classics, a youth leader of the teens ministry at the Solorio’s church, and a member of the praise team Refuge on campus. Mr. and Mrs. Solorio have been married 29 years. They both accepted Christ as their Savior in 1996 and were baptized in 1997.
