Dear faculty, staff, and students,
We are excited to invite you to the 6th annual Paso al Futuro Graduation Celebration being held on Sunday, May 18th from 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m in the Mississippi Room at Coffman Memorial Union.
Paso al Futuro is a bilingual bicultural celebration that acknowledges the perseverance, dedication, and determination that has contributed to the successful completion of education for Latina/o students and pays tribute to them and their families. This event places the individual success of these students in the context of the larger Latina/o community's struggle for education as well as the familial sacrifices that have been a contributing factor of these students' success.
This event recognizes and celebrates the significant accomplishments of Chicano Studies majors, minors and Latina/o graduates of the University of Minnesota. Also included in this event is an inspirational keynote speaker and recognition of those who have supported the students in their educational journey to underscore and strengthen the role community support plays on Latina/o graduates' accomplishments.
Graduates appreciate the presence of their staff, faculty, and other students who have all made positive impacts and supported the students through their undergraduate academic careers at the ceremony.
We hope to see you at this wonderful celebration! Sincerely,
The Paso al Futuro Planning Committee
Registration is now closed for graduating students.
