LTNS Faculty Help Students Succeed
Yaratzed Hernandez, J.D. (Latina/Latino Studies Minor, 2017)
As a first-generation Mexican American woman, I was unfamiliar with the history, struggles and triumphs of Latino/as. The little that I did know came from my parents’ limited education. The variety of classes offered by the Latina/Latino Studies Department are exceptional. My educational journey would have been a lot more difficult if I did not have the support of my professors and counselors at SF State. The faculty supported me the best they could and referred me to others when needed. The Department’s objective is to guide their students to success, and each student’s success is different.
