Vice President and Dean of Students Theresa “Terry” Martinez was interviewed by Hispanic Outlook on Education Magazine for an article chronicling her career path. The article, titled “Driven by the Power of Honest Dialogue and Difficult Conversation,” began with a counselor at St. Barnabas Catholic High School in the Bronx discouraging Martinez from pursuing a college education based on her race.
Tracing her more than 30-year career revolving around student life and advocacy at various higher education institutions, the story emphasized Martinez’ commitment to ensuring that student voices are heard. The article was published on Sept. 25.
