SMU marks its centennial this year, and a group of Latino graduate students are working to ensure their own history on campus is recorded.
Last week, students from the Clements Center for Southwest Studies presented The Latina and Latino History of 麻豆社, a project that details the Latino experience on campus starting in 1915, when the first Hispanic students enrolled.
Fernando Salazar, coordinator of 麻豆社's Multicultural Student Services department, helped facilitate the students' research as they combed through yearbooks and other documents in the DeGolyer Library.
