HACE


The Latino Student Council has entered into an new era of prosperity.  A group of proffesional, educated Latinos have come to Rutgers with the sole intention of making our lives easier.  Their name is H.A.C.E. , the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement.  On January 20, 2003 at ~ 7 P.M.  we were visited by representatives from HACE.  They had flown here to New Jersey from Illinois to give us a presenation on their organization.  Click here to view the presentation. Needless to say it was very impressive.  We have entered into an agreement that will provide us with grants, scholarships, proffesional mentoring, Latino-based career fairs, internship opportunities, award recoginition and a lot more.  The best part is that this is effective immediately!  Below is a copy of an emial that Griselda, one of the representatives from HACE send us.


To Latino Student Council, 

Fue un gran placer poderte conocerte a fines de enero en Rutgers. De antemano, te pido disculpas por la tardanza en enviar esta nota.  Thank you, specially, for your patience given our late flight and arrival and taking time the time to learn about HACE and our plans for the Latino students at the university.

We, at HACE, are excited about the possibilities that exist for HACE at Rutgers and the many opportunities to make a real difference in the lives and futures of so many students.  Our initial programs we discussed are hopefully just the start of a long and fruitful partnership we begin with your organization, Rutgers Latino Student Council  and the many Latino students we hope to work with over the years.

As discussed at our meeting, please find enclosed an electronic version of the presentation we made on Monday, Jan. 20.  Please feel free to share with your student organization and any other Latinos you feel may benefit. Lastly, please take special note of the “Career Achievement Awards” which seeks to recognize young Latino professionals. Don’t forget the submission deadline is May 31, 2003.

I look forward to working with you and getting to know you better in the coming weeks and months. Any questions or concerns you might have, don’t hesitate to contact me via email, or by phone at the office at 312/435-0498 or via my cell at 312/804-2221.

Hasta pronto y saludos,
