How long have Latinos been at Cornell? Is there a story to tell about the LatinX community at this Ivy League University and its involvement in grassroots activism and the Board of Trustees? How has the Latine community contributed to Cornell’s commitment to any person, any study over the University’s 158 years? Join Cornell Latino Alumni Association at large board members Joseph De Los Santos MHA '19 and Freddy Terrazas Escamilla MHA '19 and Vice President Kety Esquivel '97 as they discuss the upcoming CLAA Series on the Fresh from Hill Cornell podcast. Over this limited series the trio interview key Latino/Latina alumni and Board of Trustees members while discussing key events in CLAA history at Cornell.  

Put your earbuds in and join us for this first episode where Kety, Joseph, and Freddy walk through their background, their decision to attend Cornell, and the impact that the university has had on their lives and careers. We welcome all students, alumni, family and friends of the university to hear how CLAA has had an impact on Cornell since some of the first classes graduated from the University.
