Dear Graduates,
The faculty, students and staff of the Latina/o Studies Program and Latinx Student Success Office send you on your way with mixed emotions. We are immensely proud that you have reached this significant benchmark in your life, we celebrate your achievements and we wish you the best in life. But you will be missed. We have been fortunate in the opportunity you gave us to become a part of your experiences and now, memories. And we have learned much from you and your efforts to honor, perpetuate and support the Latina/o presence at Cornell.
We encourage you, as you become alumni to keep in touch. You are now part of the Latina/o Studies Program history and tradition.
