Dominican University New York has joined 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program’s professional membership to give students access to scholarships, conferences, and networking opportunities. The University is also planning to collaborate with 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program on future projects.
Manuel Martínez, Ph.D., President, Dominican University New York, said, “This new membership will benefit our students by giving them additional tools and guidance to thrive academically and in their professional careers. Thank you to 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program for taking such an interest in our students and being so eager to collaborate on new initiatives.”
“We are delighted to welcome Dominican University New York, Rockland County’s only university, into our program” said Diana López-Infante, President, 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program. “The University has been designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution and is committed to guiding its students toward excellence in future endeavors. We will work with the University to support students as they strive toward success in their careers.”
In 1995, 100 Hispanic Women National, Inc. (100HW) was founded by 14 Latina leaders who envisioned an organization dedicated to guiding Latinas toward excellence in leadership by fostering educational enrichment and creating opportunities to promote personal and professional advancement. Today, 100HW is a non-profit, non-partisan women’s organization with members from a wide range of industries and interests. The organization strives to eliminate obstacles and encourages Latinas to be innovative, maximize their potential, create strategic partnerships, promote inclusion, and improve their overall status in the community. The Rockland Program partners with community organizations, local school districts, and colleges to help Latinas advance in their studies and build a brighter future.
“This partnership opens up new possibilities for Dominican University students,” said Sabrina Vargas-Greco, Secretary, 100 Hispanic Women Rockland Program and Rockland County’s Commissioner of Jurors. “We look forward to working together to establish joint workshops and networking opportunities geared toward mentoring Latina students in their career paths.”
