Zaida Garcia ’15 wants you here:
Princeton Salutatorian.
Oxford Scholar.
Undocumented Immigrant.
As a child, Dan-el Padilla Peralta left the Dominican Republic to come to the US. He grew up in homeless shelters in New York City. Currently, he is researching ancient classics for his PhD at Stanford.
The unpaved road to academia was hindered by his undocumented status, yet he continued to push forward and achieve academically what many of us strive for. Come hear Dan-el’s thoughts on childhood poverty, academic passions, the dehumanization of “illegals”, and the DREAM Act. Professor Maria Ospina will be facilitating.
Co-sponsored by Invisible Men and the Latin American Studies Committee. Light snacks will be provided. All are welcome!
