Latino students find success, support at Lewis University
Lewis University student Mónica Agüero, a 23-year-old graduate assistant for Multicultural Student Services, is proud to represent her heritage, especially during Hispanic Heritage Month. The Chicago Heights resident is one example of a growing trend of Latino students studying in nearly 80 undergraduate and 22 graduate programs with the Catholic university. Lewis is one of the most diverse private institutions in the region; students of color comprise 30 percent of the student body.
Agüero realizes that she is not only fulfilling her dreams by furthering her education, but exceeding the hopes of her parents, who did not graduate high school. Agüero earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Lewis in December 2007 and she is the first person in her family to attend graduate school.
