HOSTOS 50 • ORAL HISTORY COLLECTIVE

Eugenio María de Hostos Community College of The City University of New York is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! Arising from a community's needs, Hostos is like no other educational institution on the East Coast. No one thought this college would make it, but it did. It's weathered bad times, celebrated good times, and remains firmly committed to its roots in the South Bronx.

Many things have changed since 1968---but not the power of a good story. The men and women who helped make Hostos a reality and those who keep the dream alive today have a wealth of stories to tell. The Hostos Oral Collective currently features the testimony of more than 100 people, reflecting the experiences of alumni, community members, faculty, former College presidents, friends, staff and students from the past half-century. Hear history in the making!
