¡Hola familia!


We know with exams right around the corner, it can be a little stressful but please don't forget to give yourself a few minutes to breathe, and pat yourself on the back because you all got this!



Hispanic Engineer of the week:

Antonia Novello, physician and public health official

Scientist: Antonia Novello

Dr. Antonia Novello was appointed as U.S. Surgeon General in 1990 and was the first woman and the first Hispanic person to hold this title. As Surgeon General, Novello was especially concerned with health issues related to women, children, and minorities, including underage drinking and smoking. She spotlighted the tobacco industry's use of advertising targeting children and highlighted the importance of addressing women and children in the AIDS epidemic.
