Mi Gente’s demands miss the point

(01/28/16 6:26am)

On Jan. 26, The Chronicle reported that Duke’s Latino organization, “Mi Gente,” decided to end its successful collaborative relationship with Duke’s Office of Admissions to recruit Latinos and issued “demands” on Duke’s administration. Rather than undermine the progress it has made recruiting Latinos through the success of LSRW (Latino Student Recruitment Weekend), I might suggest that the leadership of Mi Gente consider a different approach in order to advance its cause.

Celebrating Latino heritage

(09/26/14 9:15am)

Some would argue that our values are what define us as young adults. Yet others might argue that we are defined by our actions, and yet others would say we are defined by those with whom we associate. To the degree that any of this is true, to what degree are we defined by our heritage or race or creed? If you look close enough, there is beauty in everyone with whom we interact—we simply need to take the time to discover it. I encourage you to discover your own heritage and appreciate the history that comes with being you. It is mainly for this reason that I decided to apply to DukeEngage Miami, which allowed me to enrich myself in the amalgamation of Latino cultures.
