President’s Message
Dear Alumni,
As fellow graduates of our university, we share a special bond that is not only built on the foundation of our academic achievements but also our shared cultural heritage.
In today's world, it is more important than ever that we come together to support each other and to help the next generation of students achieve their goals. Whether it is through mentoring, volunteering, or financial support, we have the power to make a real difference in the lives of our fellow alumni and the wider Latino community.
I am excited to work with you all this year to strengthen our alumni network and to continue our tradition of excellence in all areas of life. Let us celebrate our successes and work together to build a brighter future for ourselves and for those who will come after us.

I'd love to hear your brilliant ideas on what you'd like to see the award go towards, and how you'd like to get involved. And get this, as part of my unwavering commitment to this cause, I'm ready to match contributions up to the first $5,000!
So let's join forces and make a real difference in the lives of our fellow alumni and students. Join me on this incredible journey and let's create something truly remarkable together.
