My professors have by far been the most meaningful part of my Dartmouth experience. Because of them, I've been able to expand my worldview and gain the skills I need to partake in social activism in and out of academia. Because LALACS is a relatively small department, I feel that each and every one of my professors genuinely cares about their students and the material they teach us. My professors have guided me to understand and reclaim my own social identities. And, in many different ways, they have taught me that everything is connected.
Thanks to my LALACS professors Mary Coffey, Matt Garcia, Richard Wright, Sebastián Díaz-Duhalde, Jorge Cuéllar, Sina Rauschenbach, Peter DeShazo, Douglas Moody, Desirée Garcia, and Marcela Di Blasi. Shout out to Leah Torrey and Professors Jennifer Sargent, Kianny Antigua, Trica Keaton, and Bill Hudenko for your profound impact on my college experience. And finally, all my love to Nick and Gustavo for supporting me through it all. Thank you for everything.
