Taking A Short Medical Hiatus

HTM Video from Miguel A. Corona on Vimeo.

Are You Making History?

Efrain Nieves over at Being Latino has an excellent article sharing the profiles of  Hispanics that you’ve not probably heard of, but have certainly made significant differences in the lives of others.  The article got me thinking: Am I making a difference or just taking up space? It’s a question we often don’t ask ourselves because we’re too consumed with…

On the Cover!

I just received a draft copy of  The Business Journal of Hispanic Research issue that will include my article. I was excited and honored to see that I was the lead article for the next issue.

The Glass is Always Half Full

Nice article in the Houston Post regarding how colleges and universities can improve their recruitment and retention of Hispanic college students. With the recent articles regarding the AEI report, it’s nice to see how one college is really making a difference in supporting Hispanic academically. In addition, the article does pull out some great tips…

I’ve been amazed by the number of people out there that would rather highlight the negative aspects of the study rather than concentrate on the progress Hispanics have made over the last couple decades.
