Galería América The Institute for Latino Studies presents: From Early History to the Modern Experience 1864-2001 Exhibit Celebrates Generations of Latino Students The Institute for Latino Studies is pleased to announce The Latino Student at Notre Dame: From Early History to the Modern Experience, 1864-2001. Opening September 13, 2002, the exhibit will feature over 40 oral histories of graduates from 1912 to 2001, photographs, artifacts, and interactive displays. According to Carmen Macharaschwili, the Institute's programs and public relations coordinator, The Latino Student at Notre Dame has three goals. "First, we want to honor and recognize our Hispanic alumni. Second, by gathering oral histories from graduates, we're contributing to the University's historical record in a unique way. Third, we hope the exhibit will educate the Notre Dame community - and particularly non-Latinos - about the presence and contributions of Latinos to the University over the years," said Macharaschwili. She thanked the many alumni who have shown support and enthusiasm for the project thus far. Artifacts collected for the exhibit date back to 1864 and include Fr. Zahm's diary from his 1882 Hispanic recruitment trip, a 1906 yearbook that features The Latin Club of Mexico, and a photograph of a student hitchhiking from Laredo, Texas, to Notre Dame. Testimonies from Notre Dame leaders who have taken an active interest in Latino students - such as Presidents Hesburgh and Malloy and Rev. Timothy Scully, CSC - will complement the oral histories of graduates. Organizers also plan to feature interviews with Geoff and Carmen Samora, the children of ND sociology professor Julian Samora. Various sections will focus on recruitment; student activism; dorm life; and Latino student activities, from the Nuestra Voz newsletter to Mariachi ND.
