During the Spring 2023 semester I had a book club in Spanish in my PRLS 4430 course reading Elisabet Velasquez’s Y si lo logramos: una historia nuyorican. I do a lot of my reading on my commute.
Welcome to Brooklyn College Puerto Rican and Latino Studies with Prof. España! My PRLS 1001: Intro to PRLS class watched the Making the Impossible Possible: The Story of Puerto Rican Studies in Brooklyn College at the start of the semester. Loved starting our course this way.
You are only as strong as your community. Grateful to start my journey at Brooklyn College with Dr. Mike Mena in Fall 2022. Selfie is from our first week of classes!
