Dear alumni,

Although summer has ended, we can still enjoy the fall with all its glory. As we approach Hispanic Heritage Month and homecoming, we invite you to join us for a variety of events prepared for you! 

We want to celebrate your successes, so if you would like to recognize a fellow alumnus for an award (for community service, professional achievement, etc.), please email me at gutiero2@outlook.com by Saturday, Sept. 30 so we can honor them during homecoming. 

We are also currently seeking individuals who are looking to get more involved and join the executive board. .

Puerto Rico send-off and Envision Weekend welcome family barbecue

Group gathered and posed for Puerto Rico send-off

In June, the parent of an incoming ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ student, Monica Montalvo, organized an informal send-off in Puerto Rico for other first-year students in the area. Shortly after, the Latinx Alumni Association hosted a virtual welcome to guide families on what to expect and soothe their fears.

These events culminated in the Envision Weekend welcome barbecue, where families took a few minutes to gather, touch base and take a follow up picture, .
