Every year we look forward to celebrating Latinas who have strived for their education Whether it's graduating from high school, associate's programs, colleges or graduate schools we know the great lengths these educated Latinas have taken to achieve success. This year, our celebration of the class of 2020 is a little bit different. This is, especially considering that so many students are having to forfeit bigger celebrations in order to ensure the safety and security of others during the current Coronavirus pandemic.

For many of the Latinas crossing the virtual stage this year, getting to and through college was no easy feat, particularly because of the various obstacles institutions have set in their way. Still, in true #Latinapower, they persisted and now join this year’s group of graduates.
