The Office of the President is hosting two student recognition events this spring with the support of Ms. MacKenzie Scott’s Gift: President’s Initiatives. Each special event will honor up to 15 students who have demonstrated persistence and resiliency in achieving their academic goals while overcoming significant challenges. All Hostos faculty and staff members are invited to nominate one or two students to be honored at one of the following events:
President’s Recognition Tea in Honor of Women’s History Month - March 26, 2025
Nominations must be received by March 13. Selected students will be notified by March 19.
President’s Recognition Barbeque in Honor of Student Resiliency - April 10, 2025
Nominations must be received by March 28. Selected students will be notified by April 3.
Nominees must be enrolled students for the Spring 2025 semester and have earned 12 or more credits at Hostos with a GPA of 3.0 or higher to be considered. Selected students and nominating faculty/staff members will have the opportunity to attend one of the scheduled celebratory events and receive special recognition from President Daisy Cocco De Filippis. Each selected student will receive a certificate, book, and a $500 stipend. For faculty and staff, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to nominate a student you know has made significant strides in advancing their education at Hostos while facing major challenges that could have deterred them from moving forward. We want to honor students whose strength of character and determination propels them to greater heights in their academic journey.
