Hispanic Month Alumni Spotlight October 2013

Hispanic Heritage Month Alumni Exhibit

Sept .15^th – Oct. 15^th 

Palm Beach State College Library is putting on an exhibit at the library for Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept .15^th – Oct. 15^th). Since this year we are celebrating the College’s 80^th Anniversary we have decided that we want to celebrate our Hispanic Heritage by portraying staff, faculty and alumni of Palm Beach State College that are of Hispanic Heritage.   If you are, or know of an alumni of Palm Beach State College that would like to be part of this exhibit, please contact Pat Alvarez at alvarezp@palmbeachstate.edu.   We need your name, picture, date of graduation from Palm Beach State, your ethnicity (country), what you are doing now and any accolades or degrees that you have received.   We feel that this exhibition could be a source of good role models for present Hispanic students.  They may be encouraged to strive for excellence when they see others like themselves that have gone through the same experiences.
