The Roberto Hern\u00e1ndez Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee raised more than $32,000 at its first annual PALM Latino Graduation Banquet on May 6. The sold-out event combined two annual traditions honoring UWM\u2019s growing population of Latino students: a Latino graduation banquet and the PALM fundraiser (Promoting Academics in Latino Milwaukee).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud that UWM is the educational home for 2,100 undergraduate and 130 graduate students of Latino origin,\u201d said Alberto Maldonado, interim director of the Roberto Hern\u00e1ndez Center. \u201cThese scholars are the fastest growing group of college-aged students in Wisconsin, but their journey through college can be a bumpy one. Paying for college as a first-generation student, especially an undocumented one, is difficult. PALM scholarships help them stay in school, where they belong, during difficult financial times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forty UWM students and graduates have received PALM scholarships since the program began six years ago, and 41 graduates were honored by the Roberto Hern\u00e1ndez Center on May 6. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Pedro Col\u00f3n delivered the evening\u2019s keynote address. Graduating senior Cinthia T\u00e9llez-Silva<\/a> received the Puente Award for her advocacy for undocumented college students in Milwaukee and her academic success as a communication major at UWM. Stan Stojkovic, dean of the university\u2019s Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, received the PALM Amigo Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
